The North Dakota Power of Attorney form is a simple, yet powerful document that allows a person to transfer their decision-making authority to someone whom they trust. In these situations, the person who conveys their authority is known as the Principal, while the person who will act as their representative is known as their Agent. A power of attorney document comes in various forms, and each works to achieve a different task. For example, power of attorney documents can cover real estate transactions, vehicle registration, and tax preparations but can also cover things like care over minor children, healthcare decisions, and finances. In North Dakota, all power of attorney documents must conform to Title 30.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, which requires all power of attorney forms to be signed by the Principal, and either witnessed or notarized according to each document's requirements. Additionally, these documents must remain true to the statutory form as described by the state.
