About this template
What is this template?
This is a deed of substitution that transfers authority from an existing agent to a new one. It is not a primary Power of Attorney granted directly by a principal, but rather a secondary delegation that requires the original document to explicitly permit such a transfer.
When should you use it?
Use this when you are already an attorney for someone else and you need to appoint a replacement for a period of absence. Use a standard Power of Attorney instead if you are the principal wishing to grant authority directly.
