The names, dates and supporting records needed to appoint someone to manage my finances.
The recipient's directions, acceptable identification and any witnesses specified in the packet.
How to complete it
Download the Florida Durable Power of Attorney PDF and read its instructions before filling it in.
Enter the details needed to appoint someone to manage my finances. Ask a Florida attorney about legal choices you do not understand.
Follow this packet's signature, witness and notarization instructions. Leave any signature requiring a notary for the appointment.
Save and print your completed packet, follow its delivery or recording directions, and keep a copy.
An agent makes a sworn statement about an existing Florida power of attorney and its continuing effectiveness. This affidavit supports the underlying document; it does not create new powers or replace the original power of attorney.
Choose a Florida health care surrogate and any alternate, and describe the authority you intend to grant. Read the packet's activation choices and witness instructions before signing; financial authority belongs in a separate power of attorney.
Describe the particular task your agent may perform and any limits or end date. Use this Florida packet for a defined financial or legal transaction, not as a replacement for medical decision-making authority.
Identify the earlier Florida power of attorney and the agent whose authority you want to end. Signing the revocation does not by itself notify the agent, banks or other recipients; follow the packet's delivery and recording directions.
