California Durable
Power of Attorney Form

A California durable power of attorney form is a document that authorizes another person to act on behalf of the individual giving the power of attorney. The person granting the power of attorney is called the Grantor or Principal, and the person receiving the power of attorney is called the attorney-in-fact.

Almost anyone of legal age and mentally competent can be the attorney-in-fact.

We offer you three different attorney-drafted California power of attorney forms that will cover most situations people face in their personal or business lives.

1) California Specific or Limited Power of Attorney only authorizes the attorney-in-fact to act on specific matters. For example: The selling or buying of personal property, handling of specific business transactions, limited banking transactions and other specific objectives.

2) California Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care form is used exclusively when authorizing another person to make medical and health care decisions for you when you are no longer capable of making them for yourself. Most, if not all health care facilities in California will require this specific form to be used for health care.

Your attorney-in-fact will be able to make all health care decisions including the type of treatment, location of the treatment, and in addition, the right to refuse or decline life prolonging treatment to keep you alive. Any exceptions or special instructions can be included in this form so your wishes are followed exactly as you would like them to be.

3) California Financial Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives another person partial, or complete control of another person's finances. You can choose to have the durable power of attorney for finances become effective immediately, or if you ever become incapacitated and cannot make decisions for yourself.

This financial power of attorney keeps you in charge of your own affairs. It will let you decide who will have the legal authority to act for you concerning your financial and or business decisions.

The attorney-in-fact can pay bills, deposit checks, pay taxes, buy and sell stocks, real estate, invest in securities - basically, do everything that you could do yourself. If you choose, you may also set certain restrictions for your attorney-in-fact and limit him or her to specific financial transactions.
