Power of Attorney (Financial) in Wyoming

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 Wyoming law says

Power of attorney signing rules	Wyoming's power of attorney act (W.S. 3-9-101 et seq.) includes a statutory form power of attorney. A power of attorney is durable unless it expressly says it ends when the principal becomes incapacitated. It must be signed by the principal (or by another person at the principal's direction in the principal's conscious presence); the signature is presumed genuine if acknowledged before a notary. A power of attorney that gives authority to convey land may be recorded with the county clerk if acknowledged. W.S. 34-1-104 allows recording of a letter of attorney with power to convey land only when acknowledged by the owner. Source: W.S. 3-9-104, 3-9-105, 3-9-301, 34-1-104
