Special power of attorney

Read a random definition: conventional law

A quick definition of Special power of attorney:

Special power of attorney is when someone gives a specific job or decision-making power to another person, called an attorney. This is different from general power of attorney, which gives the attorney a lot of power to make many decisions. With special power of attorney, the person can choose exactly what decisions the attorney can make, like selling a house or making medical decisions. To make special power of attorney official, the person has to sign a special form that says what powers the attorney has and both people's information.

A more thorough explanation:

Special power of attorney is a legal document that allows a person to give specific powers to someone else to act on their behalf. This is different from a general power of attorney, which gives the person broad decision-making power.

For example, a special power of attorney could be used to give someone the power to make medical decisions for the person granting the power, or to sell a specific property. The powers granted are limited to the specific tasks outlined in the document.

In order to create a special power of attorney, a person must sign a special power of attorney form. This form will outline the specific powers being granted and include details from both parties, such as the attorney's certification.

For instance, if a person is going on a long trip and needs someone to handle their finances while they are away, they could grant a special power of attorney to a trusted friend or family member. This would give that person the power to make financial decisions on their behalf, but only for the duration of the trip.
