Kentucky Power of Attorney Forms
Kentucky power of attorney forms provides a person (agent) with the authority to make decisions regarding financial or medical-related tasks on behalf of another person (principal).
For any matters not specifically mentioned in a POA, the principal should use a limited power of attorney, which lets the principal create any powers they wish.
Once signed, all the agent has to do is present the document to the applicable party (such as a bank or government office) to gain the necessary authorization to act for the principal.
