Limited or “special” powers of attorney: narrow mandates for narrow jobs
You can scope an attorney to sell one property, handle one account, or act during a defined trip—if your provincial form and witnessing rules allow that flexibility.
Narrow mandates reduce risk but can expire before a crisis ends; think about backups.
Institutions may still want their internal forms completed even when statute-based POAs exist.
