Limited Power of Attorney
Louisiana Limited Power of Attorney form
The Louisiana Limited Power of Attorney form is used to authorize another person to sign documents for a specific vehicle transaction. This page gives you the basic details, what information you need, and a direct download for the form.
What this form is used for
This limited power of attorney allows the vehicle owner to appoint an attorney-in-fact to sign documents needed to dispose of the listed vehicle, obtain a marketable title, obtain a duplicate title, or handle documents needed to back out, rescind, or avoid a sale when the vehicle is returned to the seller or dealer after registration.
- Allowing another person to sign vehicle paperwork for the owner
- Supporting a title correction, title completion, or marketable title issue
- Helping with a duplicate title request when the owner authorizes someone else to act
- Handling documents tied to a returned vehicle, rescinded sale, or dealer paperwork issue
Information you should have ready
- Vehicle make
- Vehicle year
- Vehicle Identification Number, also called the VIN
- Name of the vehicle owner granting authority
- Name of the attorney-in-fact being appointed
- Owner signature
- Witness signatures and printed witness names
- Notary signature
Why this form matters
A limited power of attorney should match the vehicle and transaction exactly. The form names the specific vehicle by make, year, and VIN, then gives the appointed person authority only for the listed vehicle paperwork. That helps avoid confusion when a title, duplicate title, returned vehicle, or dealer transaction needs someone other than the owner to sign.
Title Authority can help review your vehicle paperwork before submission so the VIN, owner information, appointed person, witness fields, and notary section are completed cleanly.
