The Illinois Power of Attorney Forms gives an individual (the principal) the means of legally-assigning a representative to handle and/or complete tasks relating to their health, finances, property, motor vehicle, or taxes. The person chosen by the principal is called the agent. The agent should be carefully chosen due the responsibilities they will be trusted with upholding. This is even more important if the agent will be entrusted with making end-of-life medical decisions for the principal.

With a power of attorney, you can:

  1. Assign someone to file your taxes;
  2. Let someone sign a document for you (such as a deed);
  3. Give someone the power to handle your medical decisions; and
  4. Much more.

Types (9)

Revocation of Power of Attorney Form – Any revocation of an agent’s powers should be stated in writing. Given that this form is designed to address that very concern, filing it is the simplest way to effectively revoke a POA.
