Vermont Limited Power of Attorney Form provides a method by which you can appoint someone to represent you for a short period of time or for a specific transaction. This can be useful for a variety of scenarios. For instance, you may need to personally attend to several matters and will be unable to do so because of a pre-determined event (i.e. a child’s wedding, military deployment). By appointing a temporary agent with limited power, you can still uphold your responsibilities without allowing anyone to overstep his or her boundaries. Be careful that you define the instance for which you want your representative to act so that there are no questions as to when and how he or she can represent you.
