Free Alabama Power of Attorney Forms

Use our Alabama Power of Attorney form to let someone make legal and financial decisions for you.

Updated November 6, 2020

A power of attorney is a useful legal document for those who wish to allow somebody else to represent them on issues including business or medical affairs.

Use a power of attorney form to have someone temporarily make legal decisions on your behalf, or ensure choices are made in your best interest if you become “incapacitated” and can’t make your own decisions due to injury or disability.

The person assigning power of attorney is called the “principal” and the person chosen to make decisions is the “agent.”

A power of attorney must comply with state laws. Find your free power of attorney form for Alabama (AL) by type below.
