Texas Power of Attorney FAQ
Common questions about power of attorneys under Texas law.
Does a Texas power of attorney need to be notarized?
Yes. Under the Texas Durable Power of Attorney Act, a DPOA must be signed by the principal before a notary public, or alternatively before two adult witnesses who are not the agent, spouse, or heir of the principal.
What is the difference between a Texas DPOA and a medical POA?
A Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) covers financial and legal matters. A Medical Power of Attorney covers healthcare decisions. Texas law keeps these separate — you need both for complete incapacity planning.
Can I use a Texas statutory power of attorney form?
Yes. Texas Estates Code § 752.051 provides a statutory DPOA form that is automatically recognized by banks, financial institutions, and government agencies. Our AI uses this statutory framework.
How do I revoke a Texas power of attorney?
Sign a written notice of revocation and deliver it to the agent. Notify all third parties (banks, etc.) who may have relied on the POA. If the POA was recorded for real estate, record the revocation in the same county.
