Pennsylvania power of attorney forms provide a means for appointing someone to make health care choices, deal with financial matters, or take care of other tasks on an individual's behalf. When granting power, the principal (“principal”) gives authority to another (“agent”) and specifies whether the contract has an expiration date or lasts for the lifetime of the principal. Once completed, all forms can be used right after they are signed.

Downloadable formats include Adobe PDF and MS Word. Also, with the document creator on this webpage,this template can also be customized to suit specific needs. Conditions for signing (section 5601(b)(3)): Two or more witnesses and a notary public.
