Power of attorney (POA) is the legal authority to act on behalf of another person.
With a power of attorney form, you (the “principal”) can select another person (the “agent”) to make decisions for you. Those decisions can be related to medical treatment, finances, or raising a child.
All types of powers of attorney must comply with state laws. Find your free Oregon (OR) power of attorney form by type below.
