How to Get Power of Attorney in Washington

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

The form needs to meet the requirements in the Washington Uniform Power of Attorney Act.

In Washington state, powers of attorney are not presumed durable. This means the agent’s powers will terminate if the principal becomes incapacitated unless the POA form includes language stating that the agent’s powers are not affected by the principal’s subsequent disability or incapacitation.

All the forms on this page meet Washington state requirements.

  • The name and address of the principal and agent(s)

  • When the agent’s powers begin and end

  • Signatures of the principal and agent, and notary
