Wisconsin power of attorney forms are designed to allow an individual (called the principal) to elect a representative (called an agent) to act on their behalf. These documents are drafted for myriad reasons; one might employ one to ensure that their medical wishes are honored when they lose the capacity to communicate, or an individual may simply require someone else to register their vehicle for them. Whatever the reason, the agent selected should be trustworthy and capable of carrying out the task to which they were assigned.
