Tennessee power of attorney forms allow a person to choose a representative to substitute for them and act in their place for many types of situations. The person giving power (“principal”) can choose the specific rights to hand over to their representative (“agent”) ranging from medical decision-making to the handling of their financial affairs. The designation may last for a limited period or during the lifetime of the principal. To make any power of attorney document valid, it must be signed in accordance with State law.
