Power of Attorney (Financial) in Arkansas
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.
What Arkansas law says
| Power of attorney signing rules | Under Arkansas's power of attorney chapter (Ark. Code Ann. Title 28, Chapter 68), a power of attorney must be signed by the principal or by another person in the principal's conscious presence at the principal's direction; notarization is not required, but a signature acknowledged before a notary is presumed genuine. A power of attorney under the act is durable unless it expressly says it ends if the principal becomes incapacitated.
