Connecticut Durable Statutory Power of Attorney Short Form
Durable financial authority; immediate unless special instructions provide otherwise.
Sources checked: 2026-11-13. General information, not individual legal advice.
Connecticut separates financial authority from the appointment of a health care representative. Start with the financial statutory short form for property decisions, or the Attorney General’s representative appointment for medical decisions. Each has its own signing process.
