The Arkansas General (Financial) Power of Attorney is the statutory form put into practice when a conveyor decides to supply a recipient with powers that allow them to perform specific actions in the principal party’s name. This document’s main purpose is to deliver powers related to the primary individual’s finances. Unlike the Durable Power of Attorney, this POA allows the designator to choose if they would like the contract to cancel upon losing their mental abilities. Individuals carrying out this form should be prepared to name their attorney-in-fact, select the powers they wish to provide, and endorse the instrument as necessary.
