What a power of attorney does

A power of attorney (POA) lets you name a trusted person — your "agent" or "attorney-in-fact" — to handle financial matters on your behalf. A durable POA stays in effect even if you become incapacitated, which is when most families discover they needed one. Without it, loved ones often have to go to court for guardianship to pay bills or manage accounts.

The generators here build a durable financial POA. The wording follows the Uniform Power of Attorney Act framework used by most states, and each state version attaches that state's specific signing requirements — because an improperly signed POA can be rejected by banks and government agencies no matter how well it is written.

More states are being added. You can also read the underlying rules in our power of attorney laws by state guides, or browse other free documents in the legal tools hub.
