 | Missouri Limited (Special) Power of Attorney Form |
The Missouri limited (special) power of attorney form is used when transferring the personal authority of an individual, the “Principal”, to an Attorney-In-Fact, in order to delegate specific responsibilities or duties which the Principal may be unable to perform. Unlike a general POA form, the limited (special) form may contain instructions detailing what shall be done in the event of financial issues or the absence (military leave, travel, incarceration) of the Principal. An Attorney-In-Fact shall execute the powers as described in the Principal’s instructions, doing so in good faith and in compliance with sections 404.712 and 404.714 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.
