Oklahoma power of attorney forms provide rights to an agent that allow them to act on behalf of another individual. When deciding which power of attorney form to use, the principal (the individual being represented) must consider whether the agent’s authority should remain in effect once they lose their capacity to make competent decisions. With a “durable” power of attorney, the rights granted to the agent will not alter or terminate when the principal becomes mentally incapacitated or disabled.
