Kentucky Power of Attorney Forms (9 Types)

Updated August 11, 2023

A Kentucky power of attorney lets a person transfer authority to another individual to manage and transact their business or medical affairs. These types of forms can be useful if a person is expecting to be unavailable for a period of time, has a transaction that they would like someone else to handle for them, or wants the protection of someone by their side making medical decisions if they’re not able. It is important that the person chosen to accept authority is someone who is trusted.

By Type (9)

Advance Directive – This type allows you to choose an agent to represent your healthcare interests. Combines a medical power of attorney and a living will.
