What Is a Maryland Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that authorizes your chosen Agent to act on your behalf.

Without a POA:

• Your spouse does NOT automatically gain authority over accounts

• Your family may need to petition the court for guardianship

• Financial and medical decisions can be delayed
  
  

A properly executed Maryland POA prevents these complications.

Types of Maryland Power of Attorney Forms

Durable Power of Attorney

Remains effective even if you become incapacitated.
This is the most common and recommended form for long-term protection.

Financial Power of Attorney

Allows your agent to:

• Access bank accounts

• Manage investments

• Handle real estate transactions

• File taxes

• Operate a business
  
  

Healthcare Power of Attorney (Advance Directive)

Authorizes your agent to:

• Make medical decisions

• Approve or refuse treatment

• Communicate with healthcare providers

• Access medical records

• Make end-of-life care decisions
  
  

Limited (Special) Power of Attorney

Grants authority for a specific task or limited timeframe, such as a real estate closing.

Maryland Legal Requirements

To be valid in Maryland:

• The Principal must be mentally competent

• The document must be signed before a notary public

• Two adult witnesses are required

• Witnesses cannot be the named Agent

• Durable language must be included if the POA is to remain effective during incapacity
  
  

Improper execution may result in rejection by financial institutions.

Why Choose a Durable Power of Attorney?

Standard POA

Ends if you become incapacitated.

Durable POA ✓

Continues during illness, injury, or cognitive decline.
Most Maryland residents should select a Durable POA for complete protection.

When Should You Create a Maryland POA?

You should create your Power of Attorney:

• Before surgery

• As part of estate planning

• When purchasing property

• When starting a business

• Once you begin accumulating assets
  
  

After incapacity, you cannot legally sign a POA.

Choosing the Right Agent

Your Agent should be:

• Trustworthy

• Financially responsible

• Organized

• Readily available
  
  

Always name at least one successor agent in case your primary agent cannot serve.
