Power of attorney records, 1821-[ongoing].

A party to a personal or real property conveyance may assign the power of attorney to a third party who, in turn, may represent them in entering the satisfaction of the conveyance. The assignment of power of attorney must be recorded in the office of the probate judge (see Ala. Code, 35-4-28 [1975]). This series consists of certificates of appointment of power of attorney that provide names of parties, location of mortgage entry, name of attorney, date, a statement of satisfaction, and a certification by the probate judge. This record began in 1821 and continues to the present.
