About powers of attorney

A power of attorney lets the principal name an agent to act on their behalf — for finances, property, or specific tasks. Pick the governing state so the PDF notes the applicable law, and describe the powers clearly.

How it works

Enter the principal and agent, a clear description of the powers granted, and the effective date. Add the governing state. Click Download PDF and the document is assembled on your device. Both parties sign, and many states require the agent's acceptance and notarization.

Be precise about scope: a general POA covers broad authority, while a limited POA covers only named tasks (for example, selling a specific car). Some POAs end if the principal becomes incapacitated unless they are made durable — check your state's rules.

Durable vs. limited

Durable: Stays effective if the principal becomes incapacitated. Common for long-term planning.
Limited: Grants authority for specific acts or a set time, then ends. Narrower and easier to control.

FAQ

What makes a POA "durable"?

Language stating it remains in effect if the principal becomes incapacitated. Without it, a general POA usually ends at incapacity under state law.

Can I limit what the agent can do?

Yes. A limited POA names specific powers and an end date. Describe them clearly so the agent's authority is bounded.

Not legal advice. This is a template. Laws vary by state and change. A POA is a powerful document — confirm the form and signing rules with the current statute or a licensed attorney in your state.
