Montana Power of Attorney Forms

A Montana power of attorney authorizes a person or entity (the “agent”) to engage in transactions or tasks on behalf of another individual (called the “principal”). It is the responsibility of the principal to choose an agent they believe will represent their wishes as stated in the form. However, upon accepting their nomination, the agent is legally required to make every decision in the best interest of the principal (as stated by § 72-31-319). If the principal intends to complete a durable financial or medical POA, it is especially important the agent they choose understands the responsibilities they will be bestowed, as they may be tasked with making decisions regarding the principal’s final moments in an end-of-life situation.

Durable Power of Attorney

This instrument grants an agent broad authority over the principal’s financial portfolio, property holdings, and contractual obligations. Because the agreement survives the principal’s incapacitation, the agent can continue managing affairs without court intervention.
