Connecticut power of attorney forms are documents designed to authorize a trusted agent to handle a person’s finances, property, medical decisions, or other important affairs. The types of powers of attorney vary depending on the tasks and responsibilities the principal (person who executes the document) wishes to designate to an attorney-in-fact. Once a power of attorney form is signed, the agent is bound by the document to act with the principal’s best interests in mind. Each type of power of attorney form will have different requirements for completion and execution.
