Power of Attorney info needed

Try this: Power of Attorney form

We've done this twice but I don't have a copy handy to share with you.

You don't need any kind of formal form. It can be a simple letter stating your name and address (SS# can't hurt), the name and address of the person you give Power of Attorney to, that this person has the legal right to represent you in the sale of your car (Year, make, model, VIN, odometer reading) to (Name and address of buyer). Make spaces for everyone to print & sign their names. It needs to be notorized!

Good luck!

Below is a sample from the internet.

Insure the person who has your power of attorney for sale of the vehicle, also has a copy of your license or identification. The registry will require this-----I know, despite having all forms notorized at the court house of the sale of an automobile, we couldnt register the car until the former owner provided us a copy of her license.

Although you here alot of horror stories about the registry here, it is pretty efficient compared to the ones I have dealt with in the northeast.

Good Luck

THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE MEDICAL AND OTHER HEALTH-CARE DECISIONS FOR YOU. YOU MAY REVOKE THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY IF YOU LATER WISH TO DO SO.

I, _____________________________ [YOUR FULL LEGAL NAME], residing at ___________________________________________________________________________________ [YOUR FULL ADDRESS], hereby appoint ___________________________________ of _________________________, _________________________, ___________________________________, as my Attorney-in-Fact ("Agent").

If my Agent is unable to serve for any reason, I designate ___________________________________, of _________________________, _________________________, _________________________ __________, as my successor Agent.

I hereby revoke any and all general powers of attorney that previously have been signed by me. However, the preceding sentence shall not have the effect of revoking any powers of attorney that are directly related to my health care that previously have been signed by me.

My Agent shall have full power and authority to act on my behalf. This power and authority shall authorize my Agent to manage and conduct all of my affairs and to exercise all of my legal rights and powers, including all rights and powers that I may acquire in the future. My Agent's powers shall include, but not be limited to, the power to:

1. Open, maintain or close bank accounts (including, but not limited to, checking accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit), brokerage accounts, and other similar accounts with financial institutions.

c. Have access to any safe deposit box that I might own, including its contents.

2. Sell, exchange, buy, invest, or reinvest any assets or property owned by me. Such assets or property may include income producing or non-income producing assets and property.

3. Purchase and/or maintain insurance, including life insurance upon my life or the life of any other appropriate person.

This Power of Attorney shall be construed broadly as a General Power of Attorney. The listing of specific powers is not intended to limit or restrict the general powers granted in this Power of Attorney in any manner.

Any power or authority granted to my Agent under this document shall be limited to the extent necessary to prevent this Power of Attorney from causing: (i) my income to be taxable to my Agent, (ii) my assets to be subject to a general power of appointment by my Agent, and (iii) my Agent to have any incidents of ownership with respect to any life insurance policies that I may own on the life of my Agent.

My Agent shall not be liable for any loss that results from a judgment error that was made in good faith. However, my Agent shall be liable for willful misconduct or the failure to act in good faith while acting under the authority of this Power of Attorney.

I authorize my Agent to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who accepts and acts under this document.

My Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for any services provided as my Agent. My Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this Power of Attorney.

My Agent shall provide an accounting for all funds handled and all acts performed as my Agent, if I so request or if such a request is made by any authorized personal representative or fiduciary acting on my behalf.

This Power of Attorney shall become effective immediately and shall not be affected by my disability or lack of mental competence, except as may be provided otherwise by an applicable state statute. This is a Durable Power of Attorney. This Power of Attorney shall continue effective until my death. This Power of Attorney may be revoked by me at any time by providing written notice to my Agent.
