Limited Power of Attorney for Boat/RV Storage

Authorize Trusted Management of Your Stored Boat or RV

When your boat or RV is in long-term storage—whether for the winter season, extended travel, or safekeeping—you may need someone you trust to handle maintenance decisions, approve repairs, or access the storage facility on your behalf. A limited power of attorney for boat/RV storage gives your designated agent clear legal authority to act in specific, pre-defined situations without granting broad control over your other assets.

This form template is designed for boat and RV owners who store their vehicles at marinas, RV parks, indoor storage facilities, or specialized storage yards. It's especially useful for seasonal owners, snowbirds, military personnel on deployment, or anyone who travels frequently and needs a reliable local representative to handle routine matters.

What This Template Covers

The form captures all essential details for a limited POA specific to vehicle storage:

• Principal and agent information, including full legal names, addresses, and contact details
• Vehicle identification, including make, model, year, VIN, registration, and storage location
• Scope of authority, with checkboxes for facility access, maintenance approvals, winterization services, emergency repairs, transport authorization, and communication with the facility
• Spending limits and approval thresholds to keep costs predictable and transparent
• Duration of authority, with clear start and end dates or event-based termination
• Witness and notarization fields to meet legal requirements in most jurisdictions
• Signature capture for both principal and agent, making the document legally binding and ready for submission

Who Should Use This Template

This template is ideal for:

• Boat and RV owners who store vehicles seasonally or long-term

• Family members and friends acting as local agents for out-of-state owners
