Wyoming Power of Attorney (POA) Forms
In Wyoming, power of attorney forms allow an individual, referred to as the "principal," to designate another person, known as the "agent," to manage their affairs. If the selected form is labeled as "durable," it will continue to be effective even if the principal is incapacitated. There is no need for any government filing or recording of these forms.
