Connecticut Limited Power of Attorney

A limited (or special) power of attorney authorizes an agent to act for you in Connecticut for one specific task or a set period: closing a sale, managing a bank account, handling a title transfer. In Connecticut, a limited power of attorney generally must be signed before a notary public and two witnesses (Conn. Gen. Stat. 1-350d).
