The Tennessee Power of Attorney Forms are a set of legal documents that give one person (known as the Attorney-in-Fact) the power to make decisions or act on behalf of another person (known as the Principal). While there are many variations on these agreements, the following forms are the most common ones that can be used to meet almost any of a Principal’s needs.

The most common terms a Principal needs to know when drafting a Power of Attorney agreement are Springing or Immediate (indicating that the agreement will go into effect after the Principal has been incapacitated or immediately upon being signed) and Durable (indicating the agreement will remain in effect after the Principal has been incapacitated). The Principal should consider the following forms carefully to be sure they’re giving over the powers they want to the Attorney-in-Fact.
