A Utah durable power of attorney form allows an individual to appoint an agent to manage their financial matters throughout their lifetime. The form is durable by default in Utah and is presumed to be durable unless stated otherwise. You need to sign, date, and have the form notarized. If granted the authority, the agent can conduct almost any legal matter you can. To revoke a power of attorney, complete and file a revocation of power of attorney.
