Massachusetts Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney Form, available for download at your discretion, is a form used to designate a person to represent you in front of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles with titling or registration issues. This is a type of limited power of attorney that pertains to motor vehicles only. This paperwork will allow the vehicle owner to be either a private citizen or a business entity. In either case, someone with the legal right to control the concerned vehicle must sign it. Typically, this is the owner, however, in the case of a business entity, it may be an authorized representative (such as the business owner or an officer).
