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 2026-04-07, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-07, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law. Upon the expiration date, the Agent's authority under this instrument shall cease immediately, and the Agent shall have no further power to act on the Principal's behalf. 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.
The Principal reserves the right to revoke, amend, or modify this Power of Attorney at any time, provided that the Principal has the legal capacity to do so. Any revocation, amendment, or modification shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery of written notice to the Agent and to any third party who has previously relied upon 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. The Principal consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of [state_law] for the resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to this instrument. If any provision of this Power of Attorney is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from this instrument and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Agent is specifically authorized to execute all disclosures, permits, and compliance records required by the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule and the Clean Air Act's VOC regulations. This includes the authority to certify that lead-safe work practices have been followed and to manage all Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and air quality records pertinent to Minnesota project sites.
The Agent is empowered to ensure compliance with the Minnesota Wage Theft Prevention Act (Minn. Stat. § 181.101) by delivering required written notices to all painting staff. In the event of termination, the Agent is authorized to issue prompt payment of wages within 24 hours of demand pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 181.13. Any authority exercised herein must strictly adhere to Minn. Stat. § 181.981 regarding the non-enforceability of non-compete agreements.
The Agent is authorized to enter into contracts for the purchase of primers, coats, and specialty finishes exceeding the threshold of Minn. Stat. § 336.2-201. The Agent shall have the power to resolve color disputes by obtaining written client approval of physical samples. Furthermore, the Agent may enter into indemnification agreements for construction contracts provided they comply with the restrictions set forth in Minn. Stat. §§ 337.01 to 337.05.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

In the Minnesota painting industry, missing a signature on a lead-based paint disclosure or a supply order can stall projects for weeks. Whether you are managing multiple job sites across the Twin Cities or dealing with RRP Rule certifications, you need a trusted agent who can handle square footage estimates, VOC compliance paperwork, and labor disputes locally. This MN-compliant Power of Attorney ensures your business remains operational and compliant with the Minnesota Wage Theft Prevention Act even when you are unavailable.
Yes, provided the Power of Attorney specifically grants authority to sign environmental and safety compliance documents. In Minnesota, managing pre-1978 residential projects requires strict adherence to lead-safe work practices; your agent must be empowered to execute these disclosures to mitigate your liability.
While this is a Power of Attorney and not an employment contract, it is drafted to respect Minn. Stat. § 181.981. This ensures that the authority granted to your agent does not inadvertently create or enforce void non-compete provisions for your crew or contractors.
Absolutely. Your agent can be authorized to issue the detailed written notices required by Minn. Stat. § 181.101, ensuring that your painters receive timely and accurate wage statements to avoid state-level penalties and litigation.
Yes. To be legally enforceable and recognized by financial institutions or Minnesota state agencies, the document must be signed by the principal and acknowledged before a notary public to verify the principal's identity and intent.
