Hi all! I am hoping beyond hope that some brilliant person can help me with this (and yes, I'm kissing up!) In order to expedite my fiance's arrival to the States, he will need to sign over power of attorney to his father for property issues. His Dad will need to sign for him on mortgage/bank type stuff after he's left England. I am in the legal field here in Tennessee and I know that you do not need a lawyer to draw up these documents. In fact, I have drawn them up for our clients, so I have a general idea of the wording. We need to SAVE MONEY and I don't want him to have to pay a solicitor to do this if I can do it for him. Would anyone have a sample of an English Power of Attorney document? Or any information about terminology? Has anyone done tried to do this same thing? Obviously, a sample would be awesome!

Much Thanks in advance!!

This is a UK government website which seems to offer lots of advice.

You can download a UK power of attorney form for a small fee from here.

Just wondering why he has to bother, all the things you mentoned I have done from the US.

His father will be selling his house for him. He figured that he'd need a power of attorney for his Dad to sign the paperwork.

Thanks for the links!! I have forwarded them to the fiance.

He can sign and post the documents, not that there are many compared to the US.
