The Deed Of Sale With Special Power Of Attorney is a specialized legal instrument used in South African property transactions where one or both parties require legal representation for the transfer process. This document is particularly relevant when parties cannot be physically present for all aspects of the property transfer process, or when specialized legal expertise is required. It combines the essential elements of a property sale agreement with specifically granted powers of attorney, allowing designated legal representatives to act on behalf of the parties. The document must comply with South African property law, including the Alienation of Land Act 68 of 1981 and the Deeds Registries Act 47 of 1937. It is commonly used in both residential and commercial property transactions and provides a secure legal framework for property transfers while ensuring proper representation throughout the process.
