LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY
ALASKA TRANSACTION-SPECIFIC DURABLE FORM
Before you use this: Complete the exact transaction, permitted acts, limits, and end date before signing. The principal must sign and acknowledge the signature before a notary or other authorized officer. For real-property use, confirm the recording district and title requirements; a power of attorney presented for recording must be acknowledged.
1. Principal and agent
I, [PRINCIPAL FULL LEGAL NAME], of [PRINCIPAL ADDRESS], appoint [AGENT FULL LEGAL NAME], of [AGENT ADDRESS], as my agent solely for the transaction and acts below.

My agent may communicate with the identified counterparty, request records necessary for the stated transaction, and sign the documents specifically listed above. No general authority over a subject or over my other property is granted. An unfilled act or property description grants no authority.

Any such power requires its own express grant and any applicable legal formalities. My agent may not use my property for the agent's own benefit under this instrument.

Estate planning documents decide what happens to your property, your children, and your medical care when you cannot make those decisions yourself. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives each serve different purposes and each have to meet state law requirements for signing, witnessing, and notarization. A document that looks fine on the page but was not executed correctly can be rejected in probate, which is exactly when it is too late to fix.
