Wyoming power of attorney forms are instruments that enable the creator (called the “principal”) to grant authority unto an agent and substitute agent enabling them to fulfill tasks on their behalf. The agent, often referred to as the attorney-in-fact, may be assigned to a simple task such as completing a real estate transaction when the principal is out of the country, or transfer the title of a motor vehicle with the DMV. Power of attorney forms can be drafted to grant broader authority to the agent as well, enabling the agent to make health care decisions when the principal is incapacitated or to generally manage their finances. Whatever the reason, the agent must be an individual that the principal can rest assured will act in accordance with the document’s directions and to their benefit.
