Home Personal & Family Power of Attorney Kentucky

Free Kentucky Power of Attorney Forms

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

Updated January 9, 2023

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 travel. You can’t be present to sign the 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 several free Kentucky (KY) power of attorney forms below.
