The Wyoming General (Financial) Power of Attorney institutes allocation of control over an indicated segment of a person’s finances to an assigned third party. Usually, a power of attorney is entered into when an individual wants to make preparations in advance should they fall ill or become disabled. Alternatively, the contract may be utilized to allow for a chosen agent to take over action or control property or investments in the principal’s absence. Differentiated from the durable power of attorney, the general contract stipulates that the arrangement is to be voided upon the principal losing the mental or physical capacity causing the principal to have the inability to revoke. A portion of the document covers an option for the principal to customize when and how the power is to be given and for which assets are to be covered in the granted control. Signatures are required from the principal, agent, and an accredited notary upon witnessing the accord’s endorsement.
