The Rhode Island Power of Attorney Forms are legal agreements that give on person (known as the Agent or Attorney-in-Fact) the authority to make decisions or sign legal documents on behalf of another person (usually known as the Principal). These powers vary from agreement to agreement, and all of the agreements should be considered, depending on what powers they wish to give the Agent.

The Principal should be extremely careful choosing their Agent. A Power of Attorney agreement comes with both an enormous amount of responsibility, but also a certain amount of potential for abuse. The Principal should make sure to name an Agent who they trust to uphold the agreement and always act in good faith for what they think is the Principal’s best interests.
