Statutory Power of Attorney Form - West Virginia

A West Virginia Statutory Power of Attorney Form is a legal document formed by a principal, allowing them to select a representative that would gain legal rights to represent their financial affairs. This would still happen even if the principal could no longer do this for one reason or another. Such reasons often include comas or neurological problems - any instance when the principal can no longer communicate clearly.

Any agent picked for this important role should be picked with the utmost care and the individual needs to be reliable. This is because it is likely that they will need to be available to take action and make a decision at any time. This is why most principals choose people they are close with as agents.

A West Virginia Statutory Power of Attorney should also take into account any signing requirements as outlined by the local state laws. In West Virginia, this requirement includes the principal signing before a notary public. The agent may sign an additional document but this is completely optional. However, if the agent does sign this then it would also need notarization.
