Oregon Limited Power of Attorney

A limited (or special) power of attorney authorizes an agent to act for you in Oregon for one specific task or a set period: closing a sale, managing a bank account, handling a title transfer. In Oregon, a limited power of attorney generally has no witness or notarization requirement in the statute (Or. Rev. Stat. ch. 127).
