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 2026-04-21, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.

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.

As a paralegal in Indiana, drafting a Power of Attorney requires precise adherence to Ind. Code § 30-5 to avoid the Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL). Whether you are managing a docket for estate planning or preparing pleadings for a deposition, your work product must meet specific Indiana witness and notarization standards. Our generator ensures every document includes required clauses for Principal and Agent Information, clear Durational Provisions, and effective Revocation Clauses. By utilizing this professional tool, you mitigate common liabilities like document mishandling and confidentiality violations while maintaining the strict supervision requirements mandated by the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Paralegal:
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.
Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL)
Contracts and employment agreements typically include strict language about permissible activities and require paralegals to work under attorney supervision.
Errors in Legal Research
Employment agreements may mandate quality checks or require all research to be reviewed by supervising attorneys before use.
To comply with State Bar UPL regulations, this tool acts as a document preparer under the direct supervision of an attorney. It provides the necessary legal framework—including Indiana-specific Signature and Notarization clauses—while allowing the supervising attorney to review the final legal research and scope of work before execution.
The document is drafted to align with Ind. Code § 32-21-1-1 regarding the Statute of Frauds and Ind. Code § 30-5 for specific power delegation. It also accounts for the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by providing transparent terms for the principal, ensuring the agent's authority is clearly defined to prevent overreach.
Yes. If the agent needs to manage specific property matters, the Powers Granted clause can be customized to include authority over agreements regulated by the Indiana Home Improvement Contracts Act or matters involving mechanic's liens under Ind. Code § 32-28-3-1.
In line with ABA Model Guidelines, the document generator encourages the inclusion of NDAs and clear IP rights over work products. This ensures that any legal research or case management data used to customize the POA remains a protected part of the firm's confidential files.
