The Louisiana Motor Vehicle Power of Attorney authorizes a third (3rd) party of the principal’s choice to carry out transactions related to their automobile’s title, registration, lien, etc. For example, if an individual wants to sell their vehicle but doesn’t plan on being present during the actual sale, they can appoint an agent using this form to receive and sign any necessary documentation during the process of the title’s transfer. To accomplish this conveyance of authority, the grantor must supply the document with their agent’s name, the vehicle’s description, and the powers that they wish to bestow. Once the information has been inserted into the form, the final action will necessitate the principal’s signature that is to be performed under the review of a notarial officer.
