Indiana power of attorney forms are used to appoint a representative, referred to as either an “agent” or “attorney-in-fact,” to handle affairs for someone else. Each power of attorney document pertains to a different aspect of the person’s life, such as medical decisions, financial matters, guardianship, etc. Due to the sensitive and influential powers granted to an attorney-in-fact, a principal (person who executed the power of attorney) usually appoints a trustworthy individual, such as a spouse, relative, or close friend to represent their interests. There are also different guidelines and requirements for the execution of each power of attorney form.
