Wisconsin power of attorney forms are used for the purpose of choosing any trusted person (“agent”) to represent the needs and affairs of someone else (“principal”). The most common forms are the durable-financial and medical versions as they have the option to remain valid for the lifetime of the principal. This means even if the principal should become incapacitated whether it is Dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, or other mental disability those versions would remain legal for use. After signing any power of attorney document in accordance with State law, the agent may use the form by presenting it to third (3rd) parties at each occurrence when acting for the principal.
