Kansas power of attorney forms are legally binding documents that can be used to appoint different types of agents to represent the principal (the person for whom the contract is made) in making decisions and taking action on their behalf. Once the contract has been signed and, in most cases, notarized, the agent will be given the authority to act in the principal’s name as defined in the document. Some of the powers that can be given to a power of attorney include overseeing a transaction (such as the sale of a vehicle or real estate), filing the principal’s taxes, making health care decisions for the principal, and generally managing the principal’s finances.
