A Kansas limited power of attorney is a specialized document that enables an individual, known as the principal, to appoint an agent with narrowly defined powers for a specific task or time frame.
Unlike general or durable powers of attorney, this form limits the agent’s authority to a particular assignment, such as managing a real estate transaction, and typically expires once the task is completed, at a predetermined time, or if the principal becomes incapacitated.
It’s crucial for the principal to select a trustworthy agent and clearly outline the delegated powers to prevent any broader interpretation.
