The POA will meet legal requirements once it is signed, witnessed, and notarized (the deed must be acknowledged, and there must be two witness signatures).
But title companies in Maryland much prefer the statutory state form, since it confers legal protections on the seller and the title company if the POA isn’t honored by a third party.
In normal circumstances, you should record the power of attorney immediately before the deed is recorded.
