An Idaho limited power of attorney grants a designated individual, known as the agent or attorney-in-fact, the authority to act on behalf of another person, the principal, for specific and limited purposes. This form is particularly useful for handling financial transactions, real estate matters, or other specified tasks when the principal is unable to perform them personally.
The authority granted through this document is restricted to the terms defined within the form, ensuring that the agent can only act in areas explicitly authorized by the principal. The validity is typically specified within the document and remains effective until the designated expiration date or until it is revoked by the principal.
