A Kansas Limited Power of Attorney for Purchase is a legal document that grants an individual, referred to as the "principal," the authority to appoint someone else, known as the "agent" or "attorney-in-fact," to act on their behalf in specific purchase-related matters within the state of Kansas.

This document is governed by Kansas statutes, primarily under the Kansas Uniform Power of Attorney Act, which can be found in the Kansas Statutes Annotated (K.S.A.) Chapter 58, Article 6a.

This document is designed to protect the interests of the principal by ensuring that the agent only exercises the powers explicitly granted and does not have a broad or unrestricted authority. It is a useful tool when the principal cannot personally attend to specific purchases or transactions in Kansas and needs a trusted representative to act on their behalf within the limits specified in the document.
