A Wyoming non-durable (general) power of attorney is a legal document that empowers a designated agent (the “attorney-in-fact”) to manage the financial affairs of the individual granting the power (the “principal”).
It’s important to note that this form does not extend to durable powers, meaning the agent’s authority ceases if the principal becomes incapacitated. For enduring authority under such circumstances, the principal should consider a Wyoming Durable Power of Attorney Form instead. The power of attorney becomes effective upon execution or on a predetermined date.
Laws — Title 3, Chapter 9 (Uniform Power of Attorney Act).
Durable (§ 3-9-104) – A power of attorney is presumed to be durable unless it specifically indicates that it will terminate upon the principal’s incapacitation.
Signing Requirements (§ 3-9-105) – Wyoming law mandates a notarial acknowledgment by a notary public.
