Minnesota Power of Attorney Forms


Minnesota power of attorney forms can be used by individuals to appoint third-party representatives to act on their behalf. For financial representation, a power of attorney may give the agent either limited or unlimited authority to make decisions for the principal. Furthermore, the contract may have a set termination date, terminate if the principal is incapacitated, or remain effective even if the principal becomes mentally incompetent or incapacitated. The durable and medical power of attorney forms are used to appoint a financial or healthcare agent to handle money or healthcare decisions if the principal becomes incapacitated due to old age, illness, injury, or other medical reasons. All forms may be canceled or voided by authorizing a revocation form.
