Minnesota power of attorney forms are forms that give a third party (called the “agent”) the authority to execute documents and make decisions on behalf of the principal (the individual for whom the document is made). The reasons for making a power of attorney are diverse. It may be to give a spouse the right to perform acts in the principal’s name, to give an accountant the right to file the principal’s taxes, or to make health care decisions on their behalf. In a practical sense, this type of arrangement is especially useful in applications where the principal cannot be physically present to execute documents themselves and when a professional (such as a real estate agent or accountant) is required to perform an act on their behalf.
