Illinois Limited Power of Attorney Form is a template that will act both as proof that a conferment of an individual’s authority onto an agent has occurred and as a report on the precise actions the principal approves for that agent. Only certain powers can be delegated to a reliable friend or relative for a specific act or event. You, as the principal, should be very clear about the role that you want your agent to play. This type of form is used when there is a specific transaction or a short period of time when the principal needs the agent to act.
