Maine Durable (Financial) Power of Attorney Form
A durable power of attorney in Maine is a legal document that enables an individual (referred to as the "principal") to designate another person (the "agent") to manage their financial affairs on their behalf. The term "durable" signifies that this document retains its validity and continues to be enforceable even if the principal becomes incapacitated.
Signing Requirements
Notary acknowledgment.
Statutory Form
There is no statutory form in Maine. However, power of attorney is recognized as being durable unless it “expressly provides that it is terminated by the incapacity of the principal.”
