The Maryland Power of Attorney Forms are legal agreements used to give one person or persons the power to act on behalf of, or in place of, another person. In this sort of agreement the person transferring the power is known as the Principal and the person receiving the power is known as the Attorney-in-Fact or Agent.

These types of agreements are usually classified by what kind of powers they give. They can also be classified as Durable (in which case they will continue working after the Principal has been incapacitated) or Springing (in case they will only take effect after the Principal has been incapacitated, rather than immediately upon signing). Regardless of the Principal’s needs, the following forms can usually be adapted to meet them, although more specialized forms do exist.
