Montana Code Annotated 2011, Statutory Form Power of Attorney §72-31-353
Montana Statutory Form Power of Attorney
Important Information for Principal
This power of attorney authorizes another person (your agent) to make decisions
concerning your property for you (the principal). Your agent will be able to make
decisions and act with respect to your property (including your money) whether or
not you are able to act for yourself. The meaning of authority over subjects listed
on this form is explained in the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, Title 72, chapter 31,
part 3.
This power of attorney does not authorize the agent to make health care decisions
for you.
You should select someone you trust to serve as your agent. Unless you specify
otherwise, generally the agent's authority will continue until you die or revoke the
power of attorney or the agent resigns or is unable to act for you.
Your agent is entitled to reasonable compensation unless you state otherwise in
the Special Instructions.
This form provides for designation of one agent. If you wish to name more than one
agent, you may name a coagent in the Special Instructions. Coagents are not
required to act together unless you include that requirement in the Special
Instructions.
If your agent is unable or unwilling to act for you, your power of attorney will end
unless you have named a successor agent. You may also name a second successor
agent.
This power of attorney becomes effective immediately unless you state otherwise
in the Special Instructions.
If you have questions about the power of attorney or the authority you are granting
to your agent, you should seek legal advice before signing this form.
