Kansas Durable Power of Attorney

A durable power of attorney stays in effect if you (the principal) later become incapacitated, which is exactly when your agent is needed most. In Kansas, a durable power of attorney generally must be either acknowledged before a notary public or signed by two witnesses (Kan. Stat. Ann. 58-652).

This template collects the principal, the agent, the powers granted, and the durability language, then produces a Kansas durable power of attorney ready to sign, in Word and PDF.
