A Special Power of Attorney (SPA) is a legal document that grants someone the authority to act on behalf of another person in specific situations or for specific purposes. It is commonly used when the person granting the power, known as the principal, is unable to personally attend to certain matters and needs someone they trust to act on their behalf.
Here is a sample of a Special Power of Attorney:
SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY
