Recording your Rhode Island POA
Rhode Island lists letters of attorney among the instruments the town clerk or recorder of deeds records on request (R.I. Gen. Laws §34-13-1(1)). That section does not require a power of attorney to be recorded.
The recording office is the City or Town Clerk of the municipality where the property lies. See R.I. Gen. Laws §34-13-1.
