The presented documents below supply several distinct forms to cater to the situation where the distribution of authority is required. The advance directive is generally carried out as a preemptive effort to secure the principal’s wishes concerning possible future medical needs should they no longer communicate their needs. Agreements can be issued to cover a range of specified areas such as taxes, financial holdings, legal proceedings, and minor guardianship. Board or limited access can be determined within each form to decree the attorney-in-fact’s purview concerning the allocation of permissions. The gained agency can be instated either immediately or upon the declarant’s incapacitation (durable) and revoked by completing a revocation of power of attorney upon request.
