Kentucky power of attorney forms are used by individuals to seek representation in making decisions, conducting transactions, and managing finances. In some instances, the power of attorney is limited to one action or transaction, such as filing the principal’s taxes or overseeing the sale of a house. Other contracts activate or endure the principal’s incapacity and allow the agent to make medical or financial decisions on their behalf if they are unable to do so. In addition to the principal’s signature, two (2) witnesses and a notary acknowledgment are also required for most powers of attorney to be valid in the state.
