Utah Power of Attorney Signing Kit: Utah's Signing Rules, Signing-Day Sheet, Copies and Recording Log, and an Agent Ledger

Who it is for

Anyone signing a power of attorney in Utah, the agent who will act under it, and family members helping on signing day. Utah has a statutory form (Statutory form power of attorney (Utah Code 75A-2-301)); the kit links it and organizes the signing around it.

Not the right fit if

The person signing doesn't live in Utah, 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 Utah power of attorney data file, checked November 2026 against Utah Code Title 75A, Chapter 2, Uniform Power of Attorney Act (Utah Legislature); H.B. 74 (2016), Uniform Power of Attorney Act, enrolled copy (Utah Legislature); S.B. 134 (2025), Health Care Decisions Act Amendments, enrolled copy, effective January 1, 2026 (Utah Legislature).
• All 8 Utah facts are confirmed on an official page.
• The act behind it: Title 75A, chapter 2 is the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, first enacted by H.B. 74 in 2016.
• For the estate side in Utah, the Utah Executor and Estate Kit: The entire estate under $100,000. The affidavit can't transfer real property; vehicles and boats have a separate motor vehicle affidavit.

Healthcare: Since January 1, 2026 (Uniform Health Care Decisions Act, S.B. 134 of 2025), a power of attorney for health care is signed by the person and by one adult witness who is present (in person or by real-time audio and video). The agent and the agent's spouse or cohabitant can't witness. The act doesn't call for a notary.
• Signing-day sheet. Who has to be there (a notary; for the healthcare one, 1 witnesses), and their ID.

• Utah POA signing tracker (Excel). Signing-day steps with a status, everyone's ID, a copies log and an agent's ledger.
