The power of attorney form must be completed accurately, specifying the vehicle’s details and the powers granted to the agent. It requires the car owner’s signature, which must be notarized to ensure validity. This form is useful for persons who cannot be physically present to handle vehicle transactions or prefer someone else to take care of these tasks due to convenience or incapacity. Use the Oklahoma POA forms required by state law to meet all legal requirements.
Under Oklahoma Statutes Section 3010 (58 O.S. § 3010), a power of attorney can be terminated by the principal’s death, incapacity, direct revocation, or once its purpose is fulfilled. An agent’s authority ends upon revocation by the principal, the agent’s death, incapacity, resignation, or specific familial legal actions.
