Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney Form - California

A California Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney Form is needed to appoint a legal representative who will participate in various transactions involving a car or boat, such as the transfer of ownership. This document will be necessary if you planning to travel or are dealing with issues that do not let you represent your own interests before the Department of Motor Vehicles.

To prepare a legally enforceable California Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney, you need to provide the description of the car or vessel (add its identification number, model, make, the number of the engine, the number of the license plate or the registration number), write down your full name, identify the agent, verify you are permitting this individual to act on your behalf, sign and date the form - a copy of it should go to your personal records. While the state does not oblige the owner to obtain a notary seal or find impartial witnesses who will acknowledge the fact of signing, it would not be a bad idea to invite other people to confirm your intention to let someone else manage your vehicle-related affairs.
