 | Nebraska Limited (Special) Power of Attorney Form |
The Nebraska limited (special) power of attorney form is a document that details the transference of authority from one individual (the “Principal”) to another, to be effective in the event that the Principal is away or otherwise unavailable to conduct certain tasks. Contrary to a standard POA form, the limited (special) form contains instructions that shall be implemented under specific circumstances only.
The individual appointed to perform these tasks is known as the “Agent”; the Agent must operate in the best interests of the Principal and do so in good faith. In accordance with state law, the signature of the Principal is only deemed genuine if it is recognized by the Principal in the presence of a Notary Public (NE Code § 30-4005 (2013)).
