Select the durable option

Maricopa County’s three-page form offers both a general regular power and a general durable power. For planning that continues after incapacity, select the durable choice consistently wherever the form asks. The court describes this packet for Arizona adults of sound mind who want to authorize another adult for financial and property matters.

Review the broad financial categories

The form lists personal finances, real property, personal property and business transactions. Mark only the sections that match the authority you intend to give. These provisions can reach substantial assets and borrowing; the word general is not a promise that the form fits every transaction. Health care requires a different document.

Arrange both the witness and notary

Arizona’s financial execution rule differs from the health care rule. The witness cannot be the agent, the agent’s spouse or children, or the notary. The document includes a principal declaration, witness affidavit and notarial certificate. Coordinate those signatures before distributing copies, and make sure the effective-date section is complete.

Common questions

Can I use the regular option for incapacity planning?

The form labels regular and durable authority separately. Review the durable option when you intend authority to continue through incapacity.

Must I file this as a court case?

This is a delegation of authority, not a petition asking a court to appoint a guardian. Ask the institution or recorder about transaction-specific presentation or recording requirements.
