Understand how a financial POA works in Arizona

A financial power of attorney is a legal document that designates another person to manage your financial activities when you cannot address them yourself. The person executing a power of attorney (you) is the principal; the person you appoint is the agent or attorney-in-fact.

Powers of attorney can remain in effect no matter your incapacity or unavailability. Or you can create one that becomes effective when you are incapacitated or disabled — a “springing” power of attorney. If you choose the latter, your primary care provider must indicate that you cannot make decisions or manage your affairs.

Next Step

Choose an agent

Your agent should be over the age of 18 and knowledgeable about your financial and personal affairs. Many people choose their spouse, business partner, live-in partner, close friend, or another individual trusted to act in this capacity.

Next Step Previous Step

Assign duties to your agent

Power of attorney forms contain duties or categories of tasks you can assign to your agent. You can choose as many or as few specific powers you desire.

For example, if you only want your agent to handle your small business affairs, you can initial that section or cross out the areas that address more personal matters, like managing your personal retirement plan or bank account.

Next Step Previous Step

Sign in front of a witness and notary public

Your financial power of attorney will need your signature, a witness signature, and likely a notary public acknowledgment to be effective. States have different laws about the number of witnesses you need and who can be a witness, so it’s important you use a form that is specific to Arizona and that you take the time to understand your state’s requirements.

You can find a notary public at your local banking branch or small print and mail businesses. There are also mobile notary publics available, and you can find them online.

Next Step Previous Step

Store and provide copies

Keep your original financial power of attorney in a secure spot — usually a safe deposit box or a fireproof cabinet. Provide copies to your agent and anyone else who may need the information, like immediate family members, close friends, or your business partner.

Once you execute a financial power of attorney, you can revoke it by signing a revocation statement or executing a new power of attorney. If you decide to create a new power of attorney, make sure the form contains language indicating that it revokes all prior powers of attorney.

Arizona Financial Power of Attorney FAQs

Show all | Hide all

What Happens if I Don’t Have a Financial Power of Attorney?

If you become incapacitated without a financial power of attorney, your loved ones need to file a court proceeding called a conservatorship. That process involves appointing a conservator to manage your affairs. It is a time-consuming and often difficult process that causes family conflict. You can protect your loved ones from these possibilities by completing a power of attorney.

How Much Does an Arizona Power of Attorney Cost?

An estate planning attorney typically charges between $200 to $400 an hour to offer legal advice and draft estate planning documents, including powers of attorney. Our costs are much lower, listed above.

FindLaw is not a law firm, and the forms are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney. If you’d like an attorney to help, you can reduce costs by hiring an attorney to review your form after you have completed it.

Is There Such a Thing as a Free Arizona Power of Attorney?

There are free forms available, but they are often incomplete, vague, or too broad to address your specific concerns. You must customize your power of attorney to your circumstances, or it may be ineffective or even useless. You can avoid that problem by purchasing a form from FindLaw. Our forms were created according to your state’s laws, and we ask you questions that help you create a document that is customized to you and your life.

Do I Need a Lawyer for an Arizona Power of Attorney?

Power of attorney forms are self-explanatory and often easy to complete. If your situation is less challenging, e.g., you do not own a business, invest in real estate, or travel frequently, a basic form is likely all you need.

However, if your situation requires further attention because you run a company or have living trusts, consult with an estate planning attorney. Even if you have faith in the forms you complete, it is still a good idea to have all legal documents reviewed by an attorney.

What Are Some Examples of When I Might Need a Financial Power of Attorney?

Besides being a general “just in case” that ensures continuity of your business, legal matters, or other essential items should you face incapacity, there are also specific life circumstances that make a financial power of attorney necessary. They include:

Frequent business travel, including trips abroad
Work in a hazardous environment
Recent diagnosis of a terminal or chronic medical condition
Surgery or other involved medical treatment that may render you unable to communicate for a time
The need for assistance in managing business financial affairs
