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.

Washington Power of Attorney Requirements

Powers of attorney created in Washington state must contain the following information:

  • The name and address of the principal and agent(s)
  • What powers are granted to the agent
  • Any specific limitations on the agent’s powers
  • When the agent’s powers begin and end
  • The date of execution
  • Signatures of the principal and agent, and notary

The principal must acknowledge their signature in front of a notary public for the document to be valid.
