The Delaware Tax Power of Attorney (Form 2848) can be used to supply citizens with the option of appointing a representative to manage certain personal tax affairs on their behalf. Fulfilling the document’s requirements is relatively straightforward, allowing the taxpayer to allocate controls to be distributed to a designated professional. The document confirms information related to the personal identities of the taxpayer & representative, the acts being authorized, and any limitations the grantor would like to impose. Once the instrument has been customized to the principal’s liking, they may sign it along with the representative(s) to confirm the transfer of authority.
