Form VP136. Nevada Power of Attorney

Form VP136 is a specific Power of Attorney form used by the Department of Motor Vehicles of the State of Nevada. The purpose of this form is to authorize an appointed individual to act as attorney-in-fact on behalf of the registered owner of a motor vehicle in order to transfer ownership or execute relevant documents related to the vehicle.

The form consists of several parts, including a section for identifying information about the vehicle (such as make, model, and VIN), as well as fields for the name, address, and contact information of both the registered owner and the appointed attorney-in-fact. The form also includes a section detailing the extent of the attorney-in-fact's powers, which can be limited to certain actions or broad enough to cover any necessary transactions related to the vehicle.

When filling out the form, it's important to provide accurate and complete information about the vehicle and both parties involved. The form must be signed and dated by the registered owner in the presence of a notary public who will authenticate their signature.

This form is typically used when the registered owner of a vehicle is unable to attend DMV-related activities themselves due to illness, absence, or other reasons. It can also be used when the owner wishes to transfer ownership of the vehicle to another person or entity.

One strength of this form is that it provides a clear legal framework for transferring ownership or executing necessary documents related to a vehicle. However, it may have some weaknesses if the attorney-in-fact abuses their power or engages in fraudulent activities.

Other alternative forms include a General Power of Attorney, but this form is specific to the Department of Motor Vehicles of the State of Nevada. It's important to note that the use of this form affects the future ownership and registration of the vehicle, so it's important to fill it out accurately and carefully.

Once the form is filled out and notarized, it should be submitted to the Department of Motor Vehicles of the State of Nevada for processing. It's important to keep a copy of the form for record-keeping purposes.
