Free Kentucky Power of Attorney Forms

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

Updated November 10, 2020

Power of attorney is the legal authority to act for another person. It’s also the name of the document that grants this power.

You (the “principal”) can use a power of attorney form to nominate another person (an “agent”) to manage your affairs when you’re unable to.

For example, you can use a power of attorney if you’re traveling and can’t be present to sign paperwork, or to ensure choices are made in your best interest if you become “incapacitated” (unable to make your own decisions due to illness, injury, or disability).

Find your free Kentucky (KY) power of attorney form by type below.
