Free Maine Power of Attorney Forms

Use our Maine 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 on behalf of someone else. It’s also the document that gives this authority.

You can use a power of attorney form to have someone temporarily manage your affairs, or as a way to plan for the future. The person giving power of attorney is the “principal” and the person chosen to make decisions is the “agent.”

There are several types of power of attorney that can be used for financial, medical, or even broader needs.

Find your Maine (ME) power of attorney form by type below:

Maine Medical Power of Attorney

The Maine health care power of attorney form, also called the Maine health care advance directive form, is a combination of two parts.

The first part is the living will, which allows the principal to outline exactly what medical treatments and procedures they consent to or not.

The second part is a durable power of attorney, which gives consent to the agent to make all future decisions not covered in the living will after the principal becomes incapacitated.
