Using the PAN-82
Effective April 12, 2000, per Chapter 56 of Title 20 - Pennsylvania Probate, Estates, and Fiduciaries
Code:
The individual given the authority to act on behalf of another is now referred to as "agent"
●
instead of "attorney-in-fact."
A notice signed by the principal shall be included at the beginning of the power of attorney;
●
however, lack of the notice does not make the power of attorney invalid. This notice serves as
proof that the principal granted authority to the agent to act on his behalf. It also sets forth the
powers of the agent. In signing and dating the notice, the principal agrees to its terms. In turn,
the agent is protected if his authority to act is challenged.
The power of attorney must also include an agent's acknowledgment*. The acknowledgment
●
outlines the responsibilities and duties of the agent. The agent must execute the
acknowledgment before he may begin acting on behalf of the principal.
This new power of attorney was developed to better define the roles of principal and agent.
●
Upon its completion, the original should be forwarded to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The
dealer/issuing agent should keep a photocopy of the notification form with a photocopy of the
power of attorney as part of the sales record.
* The services of a notary are not required on this type of acknowledgment.
NOTICE
THE PURPOSE OF THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY IS TO GIVE THE PERSON YOU DESIGNATE (YOUR "AGENT") BROAD POWERS
TO HANDLE YOUR PROPERTY, WHICH MAY INCLUDE POWERS TO SELL OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF ANY REAL OR
PERSONAL PROPERTY WITHOUT ADVANCE NOTICE TO YOU OR APPROVAL BY YOU.
THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY DOES NOT IMPOSE A DUTY ON YOUR AGENT TO EXCERCISE GRANTED POWERS, BUT WHEN
POWERS ARE EXERCISED, YOUR AGENT MUST USE DUE CARE TO ACT FOR YOUR BENEFIT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS
POWER OF ATTORNEY.
YOUR AGENT MAY EXERCISE THE POWERS GIVEN HERE THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFETIME, EVEN AFTER YOU BECOME
INCAPACITATED, UNLESS YOU EXPRESSLY LIMIT THE DURATION OF THESE POWERS OR YOU REVOKE THESE POWERS OR A
COURT ACTING ON YOUR BEHALF TERMINATES YOUR AGENT'S AUTHORITY.
YOUR AGENT MUST KEEP YOUR FUNDS SEPARATE FROM YOUR AGENT'S FUNDS.
A COURT CAN TAKE AWAY THE POWERS OF YOUR AGENT IF IT FINDS YOUR AGENT IS NOT ACTING PROPERLY.
THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF AN AGENT UNDER A POWER OF ATTORNEY ARE EXPLAINED MORE FULLY IN 20 PA.C.S. CH. 56.
IF THERE IS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS FORM THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, YOU SHOULD ASK A LAWYER OF YOUR OWN
CHOOSING TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.
I HAVE READ OR HAD EXPLAINED TO ME THIS NOTICE AND I UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENTS.
