Utah Power of Attorney (POA) Forms
Utah power of attorney documents enable an individual ("agent") to manage financial or healthcare responsibilities on behalf of another person. This arrangement is often utilized by seniors who may find themselves unable to make decisions independently. Once the document is signed, it can be executed right away and does not need to be submitted to any governmental body.
