Creates a form to be used for the agent's certification and acceptance of authority. Includes provisions relating to co-agents and successor agents, and creates separate forms for their use. Limits liability in certain cases of good faith reliance. Sets forth requirements, including acknowledgement of the principal's signature, for nonstatutory forms. Includes savings provisions.
