The durable power of attorney form for Washington allows a person to choose someone else to handle any type of monetary matter related to their personal or business finances. The person selected, or the ‘Agent’, will have the unlimited power to sell real property (real estate), assets, and perform banking transactions by simply signing ‘Acting as POA’ under their signature.
The form leaves the third party harmless from being held liable as long as a valid power of attorney document is shown. The durable version also remains valid if the principal should become incapacitated.
