A Power of Attorney for Healthcare.

B

A Trustee's Deed resulting from a nonjudicial foreclosure.

C

A Deed of Reconveyance.

A standard Business Partnership Agreement.

Correct Answer

A. A Power of Attorney for Healthcare.

Detailed Explanation

Mandatory Thumbprints. According to CA Gov. Code section 8206(a)(2)(G), a right thumbprint is required for a deed, quitclaim deed, deed of trust, OR any power of attorney. Deeds of reconveyance and foreclosure deeds are explicitly exempt. Therefore, the Power of Attorney (even for healthcare) requires the thumbprint.
