Free Maryland Power of Attorney Forms

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

Updated January 9, 2023

Power of attorney is the legal authority to make decisions for someone else. It can be set up for business, medical care, and real estate, allowing an authorized third party to manage these issues on your behalf.

On a power of attorney form, the person assigning power of attorney is the “principal” and the person chosen to make decisions is the “agent.”
