Limited power of attorney - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Limited power of attorney is one of three forms a�power of attorney�agreement can take, along with general and special. A power of attorney agreement authorizes one party�called the�agent�or�attorney in fact�to act on behalf of the other party, called the principal. Under a limited power of attorney agreement, the agent can only act and make decisions on specified activities, and only to the extent that the principal authorizes. A principal does not need to choose a lawyer to be their agent; attorney in fact differs from an�attorney at law. Instead, a principal can grant limited power of attorney to any adult that they choose or place restrictions in the power of attorney.� The principal need only fill out a form, such as�this one�from Maryland, as well as following their state�s statutory requirements as to�witnesses�and�notarization.
