Indiana Power of Attorney Forms is a type of form you can use to make someone your representative to act on your behalf with your financial or health or other matters. Since you are allowing someone to act on your behalf, it is important that your representative be someone that you trust implicitly with your finances or other matters. The representative should be reliable and responsible as well. All forms should comply with Title 30, Article 5 (Powers of Attorney) of the Indiana Code.
