The Utah Power of Attorney Forms are a set of documents that give one person the legal authority to act on behalf of, sign agreements in place of or make decisions for another person. In this agreement, the person being granted the power is usually known as the Attorney-in-Fact, while the person they are acting on behalf of is known as the Principal.

Power of Attorney agreements are usually regarded as fairly straightforward and do not require a lawyer to help draft. The most important terms for a Principal to know when a drafting one of these agreements are Springing, indicating the agreement goes into effect after the Principal has been incapacitated, or Immediate, indicating it does into effect immediately upon being signed. The Principal should consider all of these agreements carefully, to be sure they are granting the exact powers they want.
