What's included

• Durable Power of Attorney (11 pages): a financial power of attorney under 20 Pa.C.S. chapter 56, beginning with the statutory Notice of § 5601(c) in capital letters, reproduced verbatim, and ending with the Agent's Acknowledgment of § 5601(d), reproduced verbatim for the agent and two successor agents. Powers are granted by initialing the statutory phrases of § 5602(a); powers that need an express grant under § 5601.4 (gifts, trusts, beneficiary designations and more) are listed separately, with optional sample wording.

Each document starts on its own page with plain-English completion notes, followed by the blank form. Where Pennsylvania law supplies a form, the statutory wording is reproduced verbatim.

Signing requirements (Pennsylvania)

• Durable Power of Attorney: dated; the principal signs the Notice and signs the document before a notary who is not the agent and two witnesses aged 18 or older who are not the agent, the notary or a person signing for the principal (20 Pa.C.S. § 5601(b)(3)). Each agent signs the Agent's Acknowledgment before acting (§ 5601(d)).
