How to Get Power of Attorney in Mississippi

To set up a power of attorney, the agent, and principal fill out and sign a power of attorney form.

The Mississippi Uniform Power of Attorney Act regulates powers of attorney for financial matters. Powers of attorney for health care decisions (Mississippi medical power of attorney) must be completed according to the Mississippi Code §41-41-203 to §41-41-229.

All of the forms on this page comply with the relevant section of Mississippi law.

Mississippi Power of Attorney Requirements

To be legally valid in MS, make sure your power of attorney form contains the following information:

  • The name and contact information of both the principal and agent(s)
  • The date of execution
  • What powers are granted to the agent(s)
  • When the agent’s powers begin and end
  • Signatures of the principal, agent, and notary

If applicable, you should indicate whether the newer version revokes previous powers of attorney.

If you don’t include a start date, a power of attorney will be effective immediately when the form is signed. Additionally, if you don’t specifically state that a power of attorney is revoked upon your incapacitation, a power of attorney will be presumed durable.
