Georgia Power of Attorney Forms

Georgia power of attorney forms legally grant decision-making powers to a person for either a set amount of time, permanently, or after a specific event. The principal’s purpose for completing the form is to have decisions made for themselves when they are unable to do so themselves. The principal can select anyone to be their agent, although family and close friends are among the most commonly selected.
