[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Anyone signing a power of attorney in Maryland, the agent who will act under it, and family members helping on signing day. Maryland has a statutory form (Maryland Statutory Form Personal Financial Power of Attorney (17-202) and Limited Power of Attorney (17-203)); the kit links it and organizes the signing around it. Not the right fit if The person signing doesn't live in Maryland, 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.
