Fillable Power of Attorney forms available online
Free, fillable Power of Attorney forms are now available for download on the Elder Abuse Task Force’s webpage. These user-friendly forms were prepared by the Kimble Center for Legal Drafting at Cooley Law School.
In 2024, the Elder Abuse Task Force successfully advocated for legislation that updated Michigan’s Power of Attorney statute under the Uniform Power of Attorney Act. Attorney General Nessel recently released a public service announcement explaining the new law. While the law includes a statutory form, it is not downloadable or fillable. The forms provided by the Kimble Center for Legal Drafting are fully compliant with the new statute. The forms include:
• Finances Power of Attorney (PDF).
• Medical Power of Attorney (PDF)
Michigan’s Power of Attorney statute is one of the major accomplishments of the Elder Abuse Task Force. Michigan’s Elder Abuse Task Force launched in 2019 and consists of more than 55 different organizations in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors – all working together to combat elder abuse.
The more than 100 individuals on the Task Force are divided into seven committees.
Another achievement includes the adoption of a Vulnerable Adult Incident Report form for investigations by law enforcement across the state, including the implementation of related trainings.
The Task Force has trained hundreds of police officers, prosecutors and Adult Protective Services workers.
The free forms are now available for download at www.michigan.gov/ag/initiatives/elder-abuse/elder-abuse-task-force.
