Iowa Power of Attorney Forms
Iowa Power of Attorney Forms allows any individual to exercise their right to appoint another person (the “agent”) to act in their place for handling monetary, health, property, and other personal matters. The creator of the power of attorney (POA) is a party legally referred to as the “principal,” and can be anyone that is a resident of Iowa and is at least eighteen (18) years of age.
SUMMARY
|
By completing, signing, and providing a copy of the POA to the agent, the agent can then display the POA to confirm they have the right to act on behalf of the principal. POAs can be used for assigning power in regards to almost any activity, and come in two (2) general types: durable and non-durable. By signing a durable POA, the document will remain in effect if the principal were to become mentally ill (leaving them unable to make decisions on their own).
