An attorney-in-fact is an individual authorized to act on behalf of another person under a power of attorney, which can be either general or limited in scope.
In the context of real estate, a client is an individual or entity that engages a broker, lawyer, accountant, appraiser, or other professional to represent their interests in a transaction.
A special agent is an individual authorized to act on behalf of another person in a restricted capacity, often for specific tasks or responsibilities. This limited authority distinguishes the special agent from other types of agents like universal agents, who have broad powers.
