Estates, Wills, & Guardianships
Power of Attorney
About this resource
This template lets you give someone else legal authority to act on your behalf in financial, legal, or personal matters. You can choose to give broad or limited authority, and decide whether the power takes effect right away or only if you become incapacitated. The completed form must be printed and signed, and it should be notarized—especially if it involves real estate.
