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 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.

Running a florist shop in Minnesota involves managing volatile inventory, strict delivery timelines for weddings, and complex labor laws like the MN Wage Theft Prevention Act. If you are unavailable due to an emergency or event consultation, you need a designated agent authorized to manage floral supply chains, handle seasonal employee payroll under Minn. Stat. § 181.101, and resolve disputes regarding centerpiece quality or delivery delays. A Power of Attorney ensures your shop remains operational, protecting you from the high-stakes liability of event delivery failures and perishable goods loss.
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.
Yes. By granting specific powers in your POA, your agent can sign detailed service contracts that include explicit disclaimers regarding allergens and perishable goods liability. This ensures that even in your absence, every consultation and delivery setup is covered by a contract that limits liability for post-delivery perishability and third-party health claims.
Absolutely. Your agent can be authorized to comply with the MN Wage Theft Prevention Act (Minn. Stat. § 181.101) by providing required written notices to employees. They can also ensure prompt payment of wages upon termination (within 24 hours of demand) as mandated by Minn. Stat. § 181.13, which is critical for maintaining a compliant floral workforce.
Since Minn. Stat. § 181.981 effectively bans non-compete agreements for most floral workers, your agent must be empowered to protect your business through other means, such as non-disclosure and trade secret protocols. Your POA can grant the agent authority to execute these alternative protective agreements to safeguard your unique arrangement designs and client lists.
Yes. In Minnesota, a Power of Attorney must be signed by the principal and typically requires notarization to be effective. This provides the necessary authentication to prevent fraud and ensures that banks and floral wholesalers will recognize your agent's authority to manage your business accounts and PACA-related vegetable or greenery transactions.
