[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Anyone signing a power of attorney in Maine, the agent who will act under it, and family members helping on signing day. The kit doesn't draft the document; your lawyer prepares it. Not the right fit if The person signing doesn't live in Maine, you need the document written (that's a lawyer's job), or there's doubt about capacity or pressure from family. Not a power of attorney form or a legal service. Why it is different - Built only from our Maine power of attorney data file, checked November 2026 against 18-C M.R.S. 5-905, Execution of power of attorney; notices (Maine Legislature); Public Law ch. 292 (124th Legislature), An Act To Enact the Maine Uniform Power of Attorney Act (Maine Legislature); Maine Revised Statutes Title 18-C, 5-803, Advance health care directives (Maine Legislature). - 2 facts aren't stated on those pages, so the kit leaves them out and lists them once to look up, instead of guessing. - Also from the file: A durable power of attorney must include the statutory notices to the principal and the agent, in substantially the statute's form, or it is invalid. - For the estate side in Maine, the Maine Executor and Estate Kit: The whole estate, less liens and encumbrances, can't exceed $40,000 adjusted for inflation. Each county probate court must publish the current adjusted figure on its website every year (PL 2025, c. 76); ask the court for it. The section covers personal property, debts and securities only; it doesn't transfer real estate. What is inside - **Start here.** The 6 confirmed Maine facts at a glance; to look up on the official page: statutory form, recording for real estate. - **Maine signing checklist, financial and healthcare.** Step by step in signing order: notary: Sign in front of a notary, who completes an acknowledgment; witnesses: The execution section doesn't mention witnesses; agent's acknowledgment: No signed acceptance is required before acting; durable after incapacity: Durable unless it says incapacity ends it. Healthcare: A power of attorney for health care is in writing and signed by the principal and two witnesses, in person and not by electronic means. The section doesn't call for a notary. - **Signing-day sheet.** Who has to be there (a notary; for the healthcare one, 2 witnesses), and their ID. - **After signing: copies, recording and the agent.** Agent: An agent accepts by acting or other conduct showing acceptance. Plus a copies log. - **Maine POA signing tracker (Excel).** Signing-day steps with a status, everyone's ID, a copies log and an agent's ledger. - **In Maine's own words.** Notary: "is not valid unless it is acknowledged before a notary public" Witnesses: "must be signed by the principal or in the principal's conscious presence by another individual" Agent's acknowledgment: "a person accepts appointment as an agent under a power of attorney by exercising authority or performing duties as an agent" Durable after incapacity: "is durable unless it expressly provides that it is terminated by the incapacity of the principal." Healthcare power of attorney: "The power must be in writing and signed by the principal and 2 witnesses."
