Power of Attorney (Financial) in Arizona

A financial power of attorney lets you name an agent to handle money and property for you. Many states have their own statutory form and signing rules (notary, witnesses), and banks often ask for that form. Check your state's rules below; if your state has a statutory form, use it.

Power of attorney signing rules	A financial power of attorney is durable only if it says so, for example "This power of attorney is not affected by subsequent disability or incapacity of the principal or lapse of time" (or that it takes effect on disability).
