In Mississippi, a revocable or irrevocable proxy is a legal document that allows an individual or entity (the "proxy") to act on behalf of another person (the "principal") in making key decisions or exercising voting rights in business, legal, or other matters. This proxy can be modified or terminated by the principal at any time or may exist with the intention of being unchangeable, depending on its type. There are generally two types of proxies in Mississippi: 1. Revocable Proxy: A revocable proxy is a type of proxy agreement that can be amended, revoked, or terminated by the principal at any time. This means that the principal retains the power to make changes to the proxy arrangement or to withdraw it altogether. The revocable proxy is flexible and allows the principal to maintain control over decision-making authority, ensuring their interests are protected. 2. Irrevocable Proxy: Conversely, an irrevocable proxy is a proxy agreement that cannot be easily modified, revoked, or terminated by the principal. Under specific circumstances, an irrevocable proxy may be established to ensure stability, continuity, or long-term commitments between parties. This type of proxy establishes a legal relationship where the proxy holder possesses significant decision-making power and authority on behalf of the principal. Irrevocable proxies are commonly used in situations where the principal wishes to transfer control indefinitely or for a specified period. Both types of proxies are legally enforceable in Mississippi as long as they comply with applicable laws, regulations, and requirements. It is essential to consult with an attorney to fully understand the legal implications and specific details required for drafting a valid Mississippi revocable or irrevocable proxy.
