You can name a friend or family member as your agent to buy or sell real estate, vehicles or other assets with this Michigan Limited Power of Attorney for Purchase or Sale of Asset.

• This is a legal document that gives your agent (attorney-in-fact) the power to execute the necessary paperwork to complete the transaction and transfer ownership of the real estate, personal property or vehicle.
• You can also authorize your attorney to receive and deposit the sale proceeds for you.
• The power of attorney only remains in effect until the transaction has been completed, after which it is automatically terminated.
