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 have the authority to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters described in this instrument, subject to any limitations expressly set forth herein. 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 2026-04-21, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-21, 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 Principal consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of [state_law] for the resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to this instrument. If any provision of this Power of Attorney is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from this instrument and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Agent is hereby authorized to take all necessary actions to ensure the Principal's practice remains in compliance with Title 21 CFR Part 101 regarding nutrition labeling and the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. However, the Agent, unless appropriately licensed as a Registered Dietitian Nutritonist (RDN), is expressly prohibited from performing clinical nutrition assessments, diagnosing medical conditions, or prescribing Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) that would constitute a violation of state-specific licensing requirements or the dietitian's scope of practice.
The Agent granted power under this document shall have the authority to resolve contract disputes in accordance with the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act and to manage human resources for the nutrition practice. Consistent with Ind. Code § 22-5-3-1, the Agent may oversee the termination of at-will employees and enforce non-compete agreements provided they are reasonable in scope and geography as per Ind. Code § 22-5-3-2, ensuring the protection of the Principal's proprietary meal plans and client databases.
In accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Indiana's health record privacy statutes, the Agent is designated as a 'personal representative' for the purpose of accessing health information necessary to manage the practice. The Agent shall maintain documentation of all dietary consultations and allergen disclosures as required to mitigate 'Allergic Reaction Claims' and 'Dietary Advice Liability' during the period of the Principal's incapacity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

As a Registered Dietitian in Indiana, your practice is built on sensitive client data and specific medical nutrition therapy (MNT) billing. If you are unavailable to manage your practice, a generic Power of Attorney may fail to address specific industry risks like HIPAA data security, 21 CFR Part 101 compliance for labeling, or maintaining your standing with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). Creating an Indiana-specific POA ensures your Attorney-in-Fact can manage your nutrition assessment records, handle dietary supplement disclosures under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, and navigate Indiana's Deceptive Consumer Sales Act if business disputes arise while you are incapacitated.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Dietitian:
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.
Dietary Advice Liability
Use detailed consent forms that outline the scope of guidance and disclaim liability for specific outcomes.
Allergic Reaction Claims
Maintain thorough documentation of dietary consultations and allergen disclosures, and require clients to disclose known allergies in writing.
Yes. However, the document must specifically grant your agent the power to handle protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA regulations and Indiana's health records laws to ensure they can maintain client confidentiality during your absence.
Absolutely. To be enforceable under Indiana Law (Ind. Code § 30-5), the document must be signed by the principal in the presence of a notary public to verify legal capacity and prevent fraud.
Your agent can only act within the scope you define. If your agent is not a licensed Registered Dietitian, you may want to restrict them to administrative or financial tasks to avoid violating clinical scope of practice regulations.
