An Arkansas general power of attorney (GPOA) gives financial decision-making powers to an agent the principal chooses. The agent will be required to manage the principal's affairs in their best interest. Under a GPOA, the form becomes void if the principal becomes incapacitated (Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, etc.).
