Two publisher options to compare

The downloadable financial template comes from Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System and bears a February 2017 revision. Kansas Judicial Council separately lists an updated December 2025 general durable power in Word format. Review the Council’s current offering before choosing a document; the older hospital PDF is an additional printable resource, not that updated edition.

Select the financial subjects

The hospital form grants categories by initials, with an alternative for every listed category. It contains an express durability statement and excludes medical decisions in its introductory notice. Review its special instructions, any gifts and property-transfer powers, and the continuation and successor provisions against what the agent actually needs.

Acknowledge the complete document

Kansas law requires the durable title and appropriate continuation wording as well as a signed, dated acknowledgment. Its statute also allows a specified future event when expressly written into a power. The linked hospital template instead starts immediately. A delayed appointment or unusual property planning calls for tailored wording, rather than an assumption about the word durable. When comparing versions, check the actual power selections and signing blocks rather than relying on a filename. Avoid combining pages from different publisher versions.

Common questions

Is this the latest Judicial Council form?

No. The linked PDF is the hospital’s older template. The Judicial Council page lists a December 2025 Word version separately.

Does it authorize health care decisions?

The hospital template expressly excludes medical decisions. Use a separate Kansas health care power for that purpose.

Hospital source page and 5-page PDF downloaded and inspected. Judicial Council current source independently indexed, but repeated page fetches returned 403 and exact current DOCX URL was unavailable. This legacy PDF is not labelled the latest official form. Its generic introductory act-name reference should not be relied on; current governing authority is K.S.A. 58-650 through 58-665. Structural comparison with current §58-652 confirmed durable title, express incapacity-continuation wording, date and acknowledgment block; this is not a conclusion that every granted power or completed use is appropriate.
