Louisiana power of attorney forms allow individuals to appoint different types of agents, also known as “mandataries,”  to execute legal documents, conduct transactions, and make decisions in their name. A power of attorney contract, also known as a “mandate,” is often made for a limited purpose, such as administering the sale of a property, filing taxes, or temporary guardianship. While most arrangements have a set duration, the durable financial and medical powers of attorney only terminate if they are revoked or the principal dies. All agents are required to act in accordance with their mandate and fulfill the principal’s instructions to the best of their ability.
