Massachusetts Power of Attorney Forms
A Massachusetts power of attorney form serves as legal proof that a person (known as the “principal”) gave permission to another individual (the “agent”) to carry out tasks on their behalf. The agent presents the completed form to certain entities to prove they have the power to sign documents, transfer funds, sell property, and other important matters.
In Massachusetts, anyone can use a POA so long they are an adult (18+). State law does not have written requirements regarding signing the form, although it should be notarized to ensure it is viewed as legitimate by third parties. In comparison to a will, a POA can only be enforced by the agent if the principal is still alive, whereas a will can only be enforced after the executor of the will’s death.
