Power of Attorney for Sale of Motor Vehicle
Power of Attorney for Sale of Motor Vehicle - Delaware
The limited power of attorney for sale of a motor vehicle specifically limits the powers of the attorney-in-fact/agent to the tasks listed in the form. The attorney-in-fact/agent has no other authority to act for the principal beyond those duties listed in the form.
