Minnesota General (Financial) Power of Attorney Form

A Minnesota General (Financial) Power of Attorney is a non-durable legal contract used for transferring temporary financial management powers to a single individual. Said person is known as the “agent” and can be anyone the principal wants, so long they agree to carry out the specific tasks required. The form is limited to monetary-related roles, such as handling bank accounts, real property, or even one’s business. Being non-durable, it is rendered void should anything happen to the principal that alters their decision-making capabilities. After signing the document, the agent will have their powers go into effect immediately. A common reason for using the form is if someone will be away, and they the peace of mind knowing someone they trust can manage their assets in their absence.
