Use our Minnesota Power of Attorney form to let someone make legal and financial decisions for you.

A power of attorney is a legal document authorizing a person (the “agent”) to handle certain affairs on behalf of another person (the “principal”).

Power of attorney forms differ by state, so you need to use a specific Minnesota (MN) power of attorney form that meets state requirements.

Minnesota (MN) Power of Attorney Documents

Minnesota General/Financial Power of Attorney

A general power of attorney gives an agent broad powers to handle your affairs, and the authority to do almost any legal act that you can do.

This type of POA is often called a financial power of attorney because it’s commonly used for day-to-day financial matters.

Powers relating to healthcare and end-of-life decisions (such as whether or not to remove life support) can only be transferred using a medical power of attorney or an advance directive.

Minnesota Durable Power of Attorney 

Minnesota Durable Power of Attorney 

A durable power of attorney remains valid even if a principal becomes incompetent or incapacitated.

Accordingly, Durable POAs contain phrasing such as “This power of attorney shall not be affected by incapacity or incompetence of the principal.”

PDF Word
Minnesota Limited (Special) Power of Attorney 

Minnesota Limited (Special) Power of Attorney 

A special or limited power of attorney is used to transfer a narrow set of powers to the agent, typically for a specific period of time.

For example, you could use a limited power of attorney to ask a relative to request government benefits on your behalf when you’re unable to do so yourself for any reason (e.g., serious illness or incarceration).

How to Get Power of Attorney in Minnesota

To set up a power of attorney, both the agent and principal fill out and sign a power of attorney form.

In Minnesota, the official name for a power of attorney is a Statutory Short-Form Power of Attorney and is governed by Minnesota Statutes, Section 523.23.

If a problem arises with a power of attorney or the agent, a principal can end the arrangement at any time with a revocation of power of attorney form.

Minnesota POA Requirements

For a power of attorney document to be valid in Minnesota, it must adhere to the aforementioned statute section. The key POA requirements are that the document contain:

  • the principal’s name and address
  • the agent’s name and address
  • the date the POA is signed
  • the powers granted
  • the signature of a notary public
  • the date of when powers begin and expire

All of the documents made available for download on this page conform to the legal requirements in the state of Minnesota.
