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

Updated May 13, 2022

Power of attorney (POA) is a legal form that gives someone the authority to make financial, business, or medical decisions for another person if they need help managing their affairs.

The person giving power of attorney is the “principal” and the person who will act on their behalf is the “agent.”

There are several kinds of power of attorney, and each must comply with state laws. Find your free VA power of attorney form by type below.
