The Oregon limited power of attorney grants someone, referred to as the agent or attorney-in-fact, the authority to act on behalf of another person, known as the principal, in specific matters for a defined period. This form is tailored to particular tasks or events, distinguishing it from a general power of attorney covering a broader range of actions.
For example, a limited power of attorney could authorize the agent to handle real estate transactions, financial dealings, or personal business matters while the principal is unavailable due to travel or illness. It is also commonly used to allow the agent to handle particular transactions, such as selling a car or managing certain assets.
