A Connecticut limited power of attorney is a legal document that grants a designated individual (the agent) the authority to make specific decisions related to property matters and act on behalf of another person (the principal) within the state.
The document restricts the agent’s authority to only the tasks explicitly outlined and becomes void upon a specified expiration date, task completion, or principal’s revocation.
Legal Considerations
Statute – Chapter 15c (Uniform Power of Attorney Act).
Authority – § 1-351 – An agent may perform certain activities on behalf of the principal or with their property only if the power of attorney explicitly grants the agent such authority and it is not otherwise prohibited by another agreement or instrument.
Signing Requirements – § 1-350d – Two witnesses and notary public.
