It is best to check with your mortgage company and/or title company to find out if the Power of Attorney will be enough.

From my own personal experience a State Power of Attorney did not satisfy the bank. They wanted their Power of Attorney executed. Check with the lender they may have a specific form. A POA allows you to transact for your spouse.

At a minimum you will need to have an executed power of attorney before she leaves. That should allow you to sign all the necessary documents. I would check with your lender on what they may require or may not allow at closing.

Signed contract, signed application and disclosures, and a signed Power of Attorney, limited to this specific transaction.
