KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and
WHEREAS, the Principal intends this Power of Attorney to be governed by the laws of the State of [state_law] and all applicable provisions of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent").

The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times. The Agent shall act with the care, competence, and diligence ordinarily exercised by agents in similar circumstances and shall not engage in any self-dealing or conflict of interest unless expressly authorized herein.
The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of 2026-04-19, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-19, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law. Upon the expiration date, the Agent's authority under this instrument shall cease immediately, and the Agent shall have no further power to act on the Principal's behalf. Any actions taken by the Agent after the expiration date shall be void and of no legal effect.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney. A third party who refuses to honor this Power of Attorney may be liable for attorneys' fees and damages as provided by applicable law. The Principal hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who acts in good faith reliance upon the representations and authority of the Agent under this instrument.
The Principal reserves the right to revoke, amend, or modify this Power of Attorney at any time, provided that the Principal has the legal capacity to do so. Any revocation, amendment, or modification shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery of written notice to the Agent and to any third party who has previously relied upon this instrument. Until a third party receives actual written notice of revocation, such third party may continue to rely upon the authority granted herein and shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney prior to receiving such notice. Upon revocation, the Agent shall promptly return to the Principal all documents, records, property, and funds in the Agent's possession or control that belong to or relate to the affairs of the Principal.
This Power of Attorney shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], including but not limited to the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted by the State of [state_law] and any amendments thereto.

The Agent is hereby authorized to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters before the Colorado Board of Chiropractic Examiners. This authority includes, but is not limited to, the filing of license renewal applications and the payment of fees. However, the Agent shall not perform any clinical acts, spinal adjustments, or diagnostic interpretations involving subluxations unless said Agent holds a valid and active Colorado Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) license in accordance with the Colorado Chiropractic Practice Act.
The Agent is designated as the Principal's personal representative for the purposes of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Colorado Privacy Act. The Agent shall have the power to access, receive, and disclose Protected Health Information (PHI) including, but not limited to, patient intake forms, X-rays, and treatment plans, but only to the extent necessary to maintain clinical operations, resolve insurance billing disputes, or defend against malpractice liability claims.
In exercising authority over clinic personnel, the Agent shall strictly adhere to the Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, ensuring all job postings for chiropractic associates or staff include required pay transparency. Furthermore, the Agent is prohibited from entering into or enforcing any non-compete agreements that violate Colo. Rev. Stat. § 8-2-113, ensuring that all employment contracts prioritize Colorado's statutory restrictions on such covenants.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

As a Doctor of Chiropractic in Colorado, your practice faces unique risks ranging from HIPAA-protected records management to specialized equipment leases and insurance billing disputes. A standard Power of Attorney may not account for the regulatory nuances of the Colorado Chiropractic Practice Act. Whether you are planning for temporary absence or long-term incapacity, you need an agent empowered to handle spinal health records, manage malpractice insurance renewals, and navigate Colorado-specific labor laws like the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act without interrupting patient care or risking license revocation.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Chiropractor:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Patient injury claims
Use detailed informed consent forms and patient waivers clarifying the treatment risks and procedures involved.
Malpractice liability
Secure comprehensive malpractice insurance and ensure it is up to date; maintain detailed patient records and treatment logs.
Yes, but only if the Power of Attorney specifically grants authority to handle Protected Health Information (PHI). In Colorado, your agent must comply with both the Colorado Privacy Act and Federal HIPAA regulations to ensure patient intake forms and X-rays are handled without breaching confidentiality.
If granted administrative powers, your agent can manage staffing. However, they must comply with Colo. Rev. Stat. § 8-5-201 regarding pay transparency in job postings and ensure any employment agreements respect Colorado’s strict limitations on non-compete clauses under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 8-2-113.
Yes. To be effective for real estate transactions, banking, and professional licensing matters in Colorado, the document must be signed by the principal and acknowledged before a notary public to reduce the risk of fraud or coercion.
