Oklahoma General Power of Attorney

A general power of attorney lets you (the principal) authorize an agent to handle financial and legal matters on your behalf in Oklahoma. Signing requirements vary by state and change over time, so check the current Oklahoma statute before signing your power of attorney.

Note that a general power of attorney ends if you become incapacitated. If you want authority that survives incapacity, use the Oklahoma durable power of attorney instead. Either way, this template produces a document ready to sign, in Word and PDF.
