 | Mississippi Limited (Special) Power of Attorney Form |
The Mississippi limited (special) power of attorney form is a document used by a Principal which allows them to bestow power on an Agent (aka Attorney-in-Fact). This power is, as the title would suggest, limited and specialized, only providing the Agent with the power to carry out a specific task should the Principal be unable to do so.
This could include purchasing or renting property, receiving mail, withdrawing funds, or cashing checks on the Principal’s behalf. In compliance with Section 105 of the Mississippi POA Bill, the document must be signed by the Principal and is presumed to be genuine if the signature is acknowledged before a Notary Public.
