Idaho Power of Attorney Detailed Guide

• Power of Attorney Idaho forms are legal documents that grant an individual, known as the "principal," the ability to appoint someone else, known as the "agent," to make decisions and take actions on their behalf. These decisions may include managing financial matters, making healthcare choices, or handling other important legal affairs.

• There are several main types of Power of Attorney Idaho forms, each serving different purposes:

  • General Power of Attorney: This form grants broad powers to the agent and remains valid until the principal becomes incapacitated or revokes it.

  • Durable Power of Attorney: Similar to a general Power of Attorney, but remains in effect even if the principal becomes incapacitated.

  • Limited Power of Attorney: This form grants specific powers to the agent for a limited duration or a particular purpose, such as selling property or managing finances during absence.

  • Medical Power of Attorney: Also known as a healthcare Power of Attorney, this form grants the agent the authority to make medical decisions on behalf of the principal.

  • Financial Power of Attorney: This form grants powers related to managing financial affairs, such as banking, investments, and tax matters.
