An Oregon power of attorney is a document an adult can draft if they want to grant certain authorities to their representative (related to funds, real estate, vehicles, taxes, children, and other matters). For instance, if a person in Oregon has children and needs to leave for a while, they can sign a specific template to assign a guardian.

Various other important Oregon templates available for download on FormsPal and that can be customized in our simple document maker.
Two roles appear in every power of attorney. The principal is the person who signs the document and names someone to act for them. The agent, also called the representative, is the person who acts for the principal. Some forms are broad and others cover one task, so it helps to know the types before you choose.
The principal decides what the document covers. Before you sign, think about which decisions your agent can handle for you and which ones you want to keep for yourself.
The agent follows the instructions in the document. A short talk about your wishes helps your agent act the way you would want.
Some people also name a backup agent, who steps in if the first choice cannot serve. The chart above shows which templates are available.
The right type depends on what you want your agent to handle and for how long. Start with your goal, then match it to one of the types in the chart. Reading each description first helps you avoid downloading the wrong document.
Many people need more than one document. Someone who owns a home and travels often, for example, might look at a durable form for money matters and a medical form for health care.
Each template in the chart opens as a PDF. Download the ones that fit your goals, review them, and keep them with your other important papers.
If you prefer a custom document, the Create My Document button at the top of the page builds one from a few simple questions.
Your agent acts for you, so choose with care. Pick someone you trust, who is organized and easy to reach. Talk with that person before you sign, so they know what you expect and are ready for the role. You can also name a backup person.
Keep a signed copy in a safe place and tell your agent where it is. Share copies with the people who may need them, such as your bank or your doctor. Look over the document again after a move, a marriage or a change in your health.
