Iowa power of attorney forms allow an individual to appoint an agent (often referred to as an “attorney-in-fact”) to represent them in making financial or medical decisions. The individual for whom the document is drafted (the “principal”) will dictate the powers that are given to their representative in the contract. The contract may be effective for the principal’s lifetime or a defined period. In many cases, the principal’s signature must be acknowledged by a notary public for the contract to be valid.
