Texas Limited Power of Attorney
A limited (or special) power of attorney authorizes an agent to act for you in Texas for one specific task or a set period: closing a sale, managing a bank account, handling a title transfer. In Texas, a limited power of attorney generally must be signed and acknowledged before a notary public (Tex. Est. Code 751.0021).

Financial powers of attorney in Texas are governed by the Durable Power of Attorney Act (Tex. Est. Code ch. 751 and 752).
Texas has an official form: the state publishes a statutory durable power of attorney form (Tex. Est. Code 752.051). Our guided questionnaire covers the same decisions in plain language, and you can compare your finished document with the official form before signing.
Verify before you rely on it
