Statutory Power of Attorney Form - Georgia (United States)

In Georgia, a Georgia Statutory Power of Attorney Form provides an agent with the necessary legal rights and powers to make financial choices on behalf of the principal. The principal must create and sign this document when they are in a clear state of mind and are doing so willingly. This document is not revoked if the principal becomes incapacitated - only in the case of death. The consequences of these decisions can be of extreme importance hence why any agents need to be trusted. In most cases, these agents are relatives or a close friend. It is the responsibility of the principal to clearly outline any wishes they have concerning financial decisions and they must document the powers to a high level of detail. It is then the right of the agent to ensure that these wishes are met when required.

A Georgia Statutory Power of Attorney should be signed before one witness and a notary public. It is crucial to make sure this is done correctly otherwise the document will hold no legal weight.
