A Kansas power of attorney lets an individual (“principal”) seek an agent to handle decisions on their behalf. Under State law, the agent will be able to handle financial, medical, and any special requests made by the principal. The principal is recommended to choose an agent that is either their spouse or a trusted family member. Once the power of attorney has been completed it must be signed in conformity with State law.
