Wisconsin Power of Attorney Forms

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

Updated May 10, 2022

A power of attorney (POA) is a legal form that gives another person, called an “agent” or “attorney-in-fact”, the authority to act on your behalf in certain personal, financial, or medical affairs.

You (the principal) have the right to limit your agent’s authority as you choose and leave specific instructions that they must follow.

Find your free power of attorney form below and learn how to complete this form according to Wisconsin requirements.
