KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and
WHEREAS, the Principal intends this Power of Attorney to be governed by the laws of the State of [state_law] and all applicable provisions of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent"). The Agent shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters described in this instrument, subject to any limitations expressly set forth herein. The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times. The Agent shall act with the care, competence, and diligence ordinarily exercised by agents in similar circumstances and shall not engage in any self-dealing or conflict of interest unless expressly authorized herein.
The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of 2026-04-19, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-19, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law.

Any actions taken by the Agent after the expiration date shall be void and of no legal effect.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney. A third party who refuses to honor this Power of Attorney may be liable for attorneys' fees and damages as provided by applicable law. The Principal hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who acts in good faith reliance upon the representations and authority of the Agent under this instrument.

Until a third party receives actual written notice of revocation, such third party may continue to rely upon the authority granted herein and shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney prior to receiving such notice. Upon revocation, the Agent shall promptly return to the Principal all documents, records, property, and funds in the Agent's possession or control that belong to or relate to the affairs of the Principal.
This Power of Attorney shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], including but not limited to the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted by the State of [state_law] and any amendments thereto.

Running a floral business in Maryland involves high stakes, from managing perishable stock to navigating the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law. A Power of Attorney ensures that if you are unavailable during a peak wedding season or due to an emergency, a trusted agent can handle centerpiece approvals, resolve delivery failures, and manage labor compliance—including non-compete limitations for low-wage workers under Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-716. This document secures your shop's reputation and daily operations against unforeseen interruptions.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Florist:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Event delivery failures
Detailed service contracts with clear terms on delivery times and contingencies for non-performance or delays.
Allergic reaction claims
Explicit disclaimers in contracts and on-site signage about potential allergens and customer-provided health information forms during consultations.
Yes. Within the 'Powers Granted' clause, you can specifically authorize your agent to negotiate settlements for wedding disputes or manage liabilities arising from perishable goods. This is crucial for maintaining your studio's reputation and ensuring compliance with the Maryland Consumer Protection Act when handling customer refunds or service delays.
Your agent must operate within Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-501 (Wage Payment and Collection) and § 3-716, which limits non-competes for workers earning less than $15/hour. Your Power of Attorney can grant the agent authority to sign payroll and manage these state-specific labor requirements while you are incapacitated.
Yes. To be legally valid in Maryland, a Power of Attorney must be signed by the principal, witnessed by at least two individuals, and authenticated by a notary public. This ensures compliance with state standards and reduces the risk of fraud during your absence.
Under Maryland’s Statute of Frauds (Md. Code Com. Law § 2-201), contracts for goods over $500 must be in writing. By including specific authority in your POA, your agent can sign these legally binding purchase agreements with wholesalers to keep your supply of seasonal blooms flowing.
