SUMMARY 

A Special Power of Attorney (SPA) in property sale is a legal document that grants a specific individual (the agent or attorney-in-fact) the authority to act on behalf of the property owner (the principal) in a particular matter, typically for the sale or transfer of property. Unlike a general power of attorney, which gives broad powers over many aspects of the principal’s life, a special power of attorney is limited to a specific task or series of tasks, such as completing the sale of a property.
