INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING VERMONT
DEPARTMENT OF TAXES SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY (POA)
FOR USE VALUE APPRAISAL PROGRAM
A new law (14 V.S.A. Chapter 123) concerning POAs became effective July 2, 2002. All
POAs submitted to the Department of Taxes beginning July 1, 2002 must comply with
the new law (however, any POA executed prior to July 1, 2002 and valid under law then
in effect will continue to be valid).
The most important changes concern the execution of a POA. A POA which does not
comply with the new execution requirements will not be valid. In order to be valid, every
Vermont Department of Taxes special POA must meet all of the following requirements:
1) POAs must be signed by the principal in the presence of at least one witness and
acknowledged before a notary public, who cannot be the same person as the
witness. The person named as agent cannot serve as witness or notary. THE
DEPARTMENT OF TAXES WILL NOT ACCEPT POAS WHERE THE WITNESS
AND NOTARY ARE THE SAME PERSON.
2) The witness must affirm that the principal appeared to be of sound mind and free
from duress at the time of signing and that the principal affirmed that he or she was
aware of the nature of the document and signed it freely and voluntarily.
3) POAs also must be signed by the agent. This does not have to happen at the same
time the principal signs, but must happen before the POA can be used. THE
DEPARTMENT OF TAXES WILL NOT ACCEPT POAS UNLESS SIGNED BY THE
AGENT.
4) When signing, an agent must attest that he or she accepts appointment as agent
and understands the duties of agent, both under the POA and under the law. In
addition, there are two optional provisions, which, if chosen in a POA, require
attestation by agents. First, if a POA gives an agent a duty to act as to powers given
(as opposed to merely the authority to act), the agent must attest that he or she
understands that duty. Second, if the agent is expected to use special skills or
expertise on behalf of the principal, he or she must so attest.
