Missouri Durable Power of Attorney forms are legal documents that grant someone, known as an agent or attorney-in-fact, the authority to make financial and legal decisions on behalf of another person, known as the principal. These forms are specifically designed to remain valid and effective even if the principal becomes incapacitated or unable to make decisions for themselves. The purpose of a Durable Power of Attorney is to ensure that someone trusted by the principal can manage their affairs and make important decisions in their best interests.
