Recording your Rhode Island POA
Rhode Island requires (or permits) recording of the POA at the City or Town Clerk of the municipality where the property lies when it covers real property. See R.I. Gen. Laws §34-13-1.
Recording isn't required for a POA used only for financial accounts, but it's needed before your agent can sell, lease, or mortgage real estate on your behalf.
