The Tennessee Power of Attorney Forms involves two (2) main parties: the “principal” who is giving another person the right to represent them, and the “agent” who is carrying out the tasks requested of them. Prior to downloading and completing a form, the principal will need to determine whether they need a durable or non-durable type of POA. If durable, the principal is giving their agent power(s) that remain in effect until the principal dies, or until they revoke the contract with a revocation form. On the other hand, if made non-durable, the agent’s power(s) will be removed should the principal no longer be able to communicate their wishes (a state that is known as being “incapacitated”). The powers that can be given to the agent are covered fully in Tennessee Code § 34-6-109.

Types (9)
