Connecticut Power of Attorney Forms
A Connecticut Power of Attorney Form is made of nine (9) binding documents used for assigning a representative to handle 1 or more personal tasks. The forms all vary in the amount of power they assign. A limited POA, for example, limits the agent’s power to handling only a few tasks, and will terminate once the tasks have been completed. A general POA, on the other hand, can grant an agent with power over the principal’s entire finances, giving them the right to move money out of their financial accounts, purchase real estate, and much more.
Because of the power given, the principal should select an agent they personally know and trust, which can include family, close friends, or a professional (such as an attorney).
