An Oregon general power of attorney form is used to establish a legal arrangement between the principal (creator of the document) and a representative (attorney-in-fact). Once this document is executed, the attorney-in-fact will have control over the principal’s finances, assets, and other personal or business-related matters (as specified in the power of attorney form). The powers granted unto the attorney-in-fact will not continue should the principal become incapacitated (unlike a durable power of attorney). Still, it is highly recommended that the principal appoint an individual whom they trust completely and who will act with the principal’s best interests at heart.

Signing Requirements – No signing requirements are mentioned in Oregon statutes, but notary acknowledgment is routine.
