[Powers Granted]
[Specific instructions for Agent regarding Maryland Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) compliance and client file encryption]
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.

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.

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.
