Summary

Form LRA 6 – Specific Power of Attorney is an official document issued and regulated by the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning under the Land Registration Act, 2012 (Kenya).

This form is used when a property owner (donor) wishes to authorize another person (the attorney or donee) to act on their behalf for a specific purpose or single transaction involving land or property.

Unlike the General Power of Attorney (Form LRA 5), the Specific Power of Attorney grants limited authority — for example, selling a particular parcel of land, registering a lease, or completing a defined land-related transaction.

Form LRA 6 provides legal recognition and protection for both parties, ensuring the power granted is valid only for the specific matter stated.

Purpose of Form LRA 6 – Specific Power of Attorney:

1. To authorize another person to act on behalf of the property owner for a specific transaction only.

2. To define clear and limited authority in land dealings.

3. To ensure transparency, legality, and accountability in property transactions.

4. To serve as official proof of granted authority, registered under the Ministry of Lands.

This form helps prevent misuse of powers by ensuring the attorney acts only within the boundaries stated in the document.
