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. 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 hereby granted specific authority to act on Principal's behalf in all matters pertaining to the intellectual property rights and content management of Principal's podcast productions. This includes, but is not limited to, the negotiation and execution of guest release forms as necessary to secure consent for recording and distribution, management of licensing agreements for copyrighted materials such as music and clips in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and resolution of any disputes related to editing or final content decisions, consistent with established contracts and editorial policies. The Agent shall also have the authority to register copyrights and trademarks related to podcast content, ensuring full protection of Principal's creative works.
The Agent shall ensure all actions taken under this Power of Attorney, particularly regarding commercial aspects of the Principal's podcast business, comply with applicable Minnesota statutes. This includes adherence to the Minnesota Consumer Fraud Act (Minn. Stat. § 325F.69), ensuring fair advertising and sponsorship practices in line with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guidelines, and compliance with the Wage Theft Prevention Act (Minn. Stat. § 181.101) concerning any employees or contractors engaged in podcast production. The Agent is expressly prohibited from entering into or enforcing non-compete agreements for most workers, in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 181.981.
The Agent is empowered to negotiate, execute, and monitor compliance with sponsorship agreements pertaining to the Principal's podcast(s). This authority includes ensuring that all sponsored content and endorsements include clear and conspicuous disclosures, as mandated by Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guidelines, to prevent misleading consumers about the nature of any advertising or commercial relationships. The Agent shall maintain diligent records of all sponsorship transactions and disclosure practices.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

As a podcast producer in Minnesota, your creative work involves unique risks, from guest release issues and copyright claims to editing disputes and sponsorship compliance. A well-crafted Power of Attorney ensures that your business operations, content rights, and financial affairs can be seamlessly managed by a trusted agent, even if you're temporarily unavailable or incapacitated. This document is crucial for safeguarding your interests and maintaining the continuity of your podcast production, all while adhering to Minnesota's specific legal requirements.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Podcast Producer:
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.
A Power of Attorney allows you to designate someone to handle critical podcast-related issues like negotiating guest releases, managing intellectual property rights for your episodes, and overseeing sponsorship agreements (FTC Guidelines). In Minnesota, this also ensures compliance with specific state regulations like the Wage Theft Prevention Act (Minn. Stat. § 181.101) for any employees or contractors, and protects against issues like non-compete agreements (Minn. Stat. § 181.981), which are banned for most workers here. It guarantees your business continues smoothly even if you can't be at the helm.
Yes, if 'Powers Granted' are explicitly detailed to include such authorities. For podcast producers, this can cover signing comprehensive guest release forms that outline consent for recording and distributing episodes, as well as managing necessary licenses for music and third-party content to prevent copyright infringement (DMCA). Specifying these powers ensures your agent can mitigate common industry risks.
Absolutely. A well-defined Power of Attorney can grant your agent authority over financial matters, including managing bank accounts, handling sponsorship revenue in compliance with FTC Guidelines, paying editors, and managing expenses related to your podcast's RSS feed and production. This ensures your financial obligations are met and income streams continue uninterrupted.
