A Procuration Letter serves as a crucial legal instrument in the United States, enabling individuals to delegate authority for various actions and decisions to a trusted representative. This document type is essential when someone needs another person to act on their behalf, whether due to temporary absence, incapacity, or convenience. The letter must comply with both federal regulations and state-specific requirements, particularly regarding execution, witnessing, and notarization. Procuration Letters can be tailored to grant either broad powers or specific authorities, and may be immediate or springing (activated upon future events), durable or non-durable. They are commonly used in business transactions, healthcare decisions, real estate matters, and financial management, providing a flexible tool for legal representation while maintaining proper protections for all parties involved.
