Dear Shannon: Professional Boundaries – Real Estate vs Legal Services?
A Realtor® thought he was helping when he drafted a power of attorney for a friend goes above and beyond to help a friend, when the friend asks Realtor to draft a power of attorney. But, after a complaint is was filed, and the Realtor is found in violation of the Code of Ethics. How can that be if the power of attorney was directly related to real estate matters? Doesn’t that mean that Realtor provided real estate, not legal, services?
