[Powers Granted]
[AUM Fee Calculation Instructions]
This clause identifies the person granting the power, known as the principal. It typically includes their full legal name, address, and other identifying information. This is legally important to ensure clarity on who is empowering the agent.
This section identifies the designated agent or attorney-in-fact. It includes their full name, address, and contact information to precisely identify who is being granted authority.
This clause specifies the scope of authority granted to the agent. It can be broad (general power of attorney) or limited to specific actions (special power of attorney). Clearly defining these powers is crucial to prevent misuse of authority.
It defines the duration of the agent's authority, whether it's ongoing until revoked, expires on a particular date, or upon the principal's incapacity or death. Specificity here is required to avoid confusion over when the power is active.
This section outlines how the power of attorney can be revoked by the principal, including any conditions and the process of notification to the agent. A clear revocation process is necessary for ensuring the principal retains control over the power granted.
Specifies the state laws that will govern the power of attorney, especially important as POA laws can vary significantly between states.
Legal signatures of both the principal and sometimes the agent, with dates, are necessary for validation. This solidifies the consent and agreement of both parties.
Many states require the power of attorney document to be notarized and witnessed, providing an element of verification and reducing the risk of fraud or coercion.
As an Independent Financial Advisor in Minnesota, your practice involves complex fiduciary duties and strict SEC/FINRA compliance. In the event of your incapacity, a specialized Power of Attorney (POA) ensures that a qualified agent can manage your Assets Under Management (AUM), handle fee structures, and maintain the continuity of your Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) operations. This document is crafted to address Minnesota-specific statutes, including the MN Consumer Fraud Act and the Wage Theft Prevention Act (Minn. Stat. § 181.101), while protecting your business against E&O claims and investment loss liabilities.
Our document includes specific provisions for the agent to manage payroll and compliance with Minn. Stat. § 181.101 and § 181.13, ensuring that employee wages are tracked accurately and paid within 24 hours of dismissal to avoid the severe penalties associated with Minnesota’s strict wage theft regulations.

Absolutely. Following Minn. Stat. § 181.981, this document ensures that any business continuity or transition instructions handled by your agent do not violate the Minnesota ban on non-competes, protecting your ability to transition clients or staff legally.
Yes. To be enforceable in Minnesota, the document must be signed by the principal, contain a Durational Provision, and be authenticated by a Notary Public to reduce the risk of fraud and ensure compliance with state-specific execution standards.
