A Colorado Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives a person you choose the authority to make certain decisions on your behalf if you need help managing your affairs.
The person you appoint (your “agent”) can sign for you, make payments, and complete several other tasks on your behalf, depending on how you restrict their authority in the POA form.

How to Get Power of Attorney in Colorado
To set up power of attorney, the agent and the principal sign and date a power of attorney form.
Spouses, companions, and relatives must request a court proceeding for conservatorship to handle business and financial matters if individuals become incapacitated and do not have valid power of attorney documents.
In these situations, the court decides who gets granted the power to handle the affairs.
In Colorado, Part 7 of the Uniform Fiduciaries Law regulates durable powers of attorney. The power of attorney builder and all forms and templates on this page comply with Colorado law.
