Agents Certification Validity Of Power Of Attorney And Agents Authority

AGENT'S CERTIFICATION AS TO THE VALIDITY OF POWER OF ATTORNEY AND AGENT'S AUTHORITY. This is an optional legal form used by an agent to formally affirm and verify the legitimacy and current effectiveness of a power of attorney document. This certification is typically completed when the agent is acting on behalf of the principal and may be requested by third parties—such as banks, healthcare providers, or government agencies—to confirm the agent’s authority to act. The agent declares, under penalty of perjury, that the principal is alive, the power of attorney has not been revoked or terminated, and that the agent’s authority remains valid. If the power of attorney was contingent on a specific event (such as the principal’s incapacity), the agent must confirm that the event has occurred. In cases where the agent is a successor agent, the form also confirms that the previously appointed agent is no longer willing or able to serve. This document includes a notarized signature section to formally authenticate the agent’s declaration and may be used to provide reassurance to institutions requiring verification before accepting actions taken under the power of attorney. www.FormsWorkflow.com
