Montana power of attorney forms are documents that allow a person to designate another person to make decisions on their behalf. The person giving authority (“principal”) has the option to transfer financial, medical, or any other type of affair handled by the representative of their choice (“agent”). Once a power of attorney is completed and signed, the agent may use it immediately.
