Utah power of attorney forms are documents that assign authority to an individual (called an agent, or attorney-in-fact) permitting them to act on behalf of another person (called the principal). These documents are drafted when the principal is unable to represent themselves, either due to incapacitation, or lack of expertise. Power of attorney forms can be limited to a single task, used to provide general authority to an agent, designed to last beyond the incapacitation of the principal, or drafted to terminate as soon as the principal loses the ability to communicate their wishes. Each form can be tailored to the principal’s needs, but in all cases, the agent selected must execute actions for the benefit of the principal.
