Power of Attorney (Financial) in Kansas

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 Kansas law says

Power of attorney signing rules	A Kansas power of attorney is durable (survives the principal's disability) only if it is called a 'durable power of attorney' and includes the statutory durability language, and it is signed, dated and acknowledged before a notary. It does not have to be recorded to be valid, but it may be recorded like a deed; if recorded, a revocation must also be recorded. A power of attorney signed on or after July 1, 2021 is sufficient if it substantially follows the form prepared by the Kansas Judicial Council. If the principal is physically unable to sign, an adult designee may sign in the principal's presence before a notary. Source: K.S.A. 58-652(a), (c), (f)
