Statutory Power of Attorney Form - Virginia

A Virginia Statutory Power of Attorney Form legally gives permission for a principal to delegate themselves an agent. The role of the agent revolves around making decisions concerning finances and general finance-related tasks such as real estate and business. The agent should work to realize the desires and respect the wishes that the principal has expressed. To ensure that the agent does this, the principal ought to communicate with the agent and explain their desires as well as making sure the powers are documented carefully. The agent should be chosen by the principal with great care which is why agents usually favor family or friends. It is important to understand that the agent can still legally use their powers when the principal is no longer able to communicate due to medical issues.

Another important consideration before signing a Virginia Statutory Power of Attorney is the signing requirements, clearly outlined by the state law. In Virginia, the law states that the principal must sign the document in front of a notary public (or another individual with the power to authorize such documents).
