A North Dakota limited power of attorney form allows you as the principal to designate an agent to handle a specific transaction or transactions on your behalf. Additionally, you can also set a specific span of time when the agent has access to the principal powers delivered here. Regardless of the limitations imposed on the agent, it is important that your agent be someone that you trust and find reliable. Once you have selected an agent, who is willing to act as such, you should fill out this form making sure the language used to describe what the agent is allowed (and expected) to do in your name be clearly defined. Leave no room for misinterpretation since whoever the agent deals with in carrying out his or her duties will depend upon this paperwork to follow your directives.
