Financial subjects and specific powers selected by initials; immediate unless special instructions provide otherwise and durable unless the document expressly says otherwise.

West Virginia’s Bar publishes separate statutory financial and medical POA forms. Financial execution requires acknowledgment, while the medical form requires both qualified witnesses and notarization. The medical PDF identifies the 2022 statutory form even though it was uploaded in 2026; edition labels below preserve that distinction.

These summaries identify the arrangements described by the cited law or selected form. Read the detail page for witness eligibility, exceptions and any differences between a publisher’s instructions and current law.

The directory identifies the publisher and edition instead of implying that all documents come from government. Agency transactions, real estate recording and unusual arrangements can require additional steps.
