The limited power of attorney form allows a resident to choose someone else to handle a specific financial activity or decision on their part. This restricted appointment may be anything as serious as handling a real estate transaction, more commonly a closing, to simple tasks such as paying bills. The form is not durable which means it does not stay valid if the person being represented can no longer think for themselves.
As with all financial power of attorney documents in West Virginia, this form must be signed with the presence of a notary public and receive it’s acknowledgment.
