How to Become a Power of Attorney

In order to become a Power of Attorney for your parents, you need to obtain a standard Power of Attorney application form from your lawyer, or you can download one from a legal website. In most cases, a standard form is fine, but if you will be performing any real estate transactions on behalf of your parents, then you will need to obtain a state-specific Power of Attorney application.

The application form will note which powers are being granted, as well as any specific limitations. The time frame for which your power will extend is also required. If more than one person is being granted Power of Attorney status by your parents, it will need to be specified as to whether those people are able to act independently of the other(s) or if they are required to act jointly.

The completed form needs to be notarized with copies delivered to your parents’ financial adviser and/or attorney. Each person being granted Power of Attorney is also to be provided with copies of the form.
