Hawaii power of attorney forms are estate planning tools that transfer certain powers from the principal (individual executing the POA) to a trusted representative (“agent” or “attorney-in-fact”). The list of forms below covers health care decisions, financial affairs, vehicle transfers, guardianship, property transactions, and tax returns. Some of the forms grant a very broad scope of power while others enable the agent to operate in a more limited capacity. Each power of attorney document will have slightly different guidelines for execution in order for them to be legally binding.
