What Is a Uniform Statutory Power of Attorney?

A Uniform Statutory Power of Attorney authorizes another person to act on your behalf in financial and legal matters. This template follows the requirements of the California Uniform Statutory Form Power of Attorney Act (California Probate Code §4401).

The document generally becomes effective immediately upon signing unless you specify a different effective date or condition.

Why Should You Have a Power of Attorney?

A California Uniform Statutory Power of Attorney can help ensure that important financial and legal matters continue to be handled in the event that you:

• Become incapacitated or unable to manage your affairs.
• Travel frequently or live outside California part of the year, and need someone to handle your affairs at the local level.
• Need assistance managing investments or property.
• Own a business that requires ongoing management during an extended absence.

Download a free copy of the Last Will and Testament of Captain James Cook (1728-1779).

• James Cook was an English explorer, navigator and cartographer, who was the first to map Newfoundland before embarking on several voyages to the South Pacific during which he became the first European to make contact with the eastern coast of Australia and Hawaii, and the first to land on and circumnavigate New Zealand.
• Cook charted many areas and recorded several islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time. His achievements are the result of a combination of fine seamanship, superior surveying and cartographic skills, courage in exploring dangerous locations (such as traveling Antarctic waters and face-to-face dealings with Maori warriors), an ability to lead men in adverse conditions, and a willingness to exceed the orders given him by the Admiralty.
• Cook died in Hawaii in a fight with Hawaiians during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific in 1779.
