Browse the storeWho it is for
Anyone signing a power of attorney in Washington, 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 Washington, 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 Washington power of attorney data file, checked November 2026 against Chapter 11.125 RCW, Uniform Power of Attorney Act (Washington State Legislature).
- All 8 Washington facts are confirmed on an official page.
- The act behind it: RCW 11.125.010: chapter 209, Laws of 2016 may be cited as the uniform power of attorney act.
- For the estate side in Washington, the Washington Executor and Estate Kit: Personal property up to $100,000, less liens and encumbrances, not counting the surviving spouse's or domestic partner's community property interest. The affidavit covers personal property, not real estate.
What is inside
- Start here. The 8 confirmed Washington facts at a glance.
- Washington signing checklist, financial and healthcare. Step by step in signing order: statutory form: The chapter has no statutory power of attorney form, only an optional agent's certification (RCW 11.125.430); notary or witnesses: Sign in front of a notary, or in front of witnesses instead; witnesses: If you skip the notary: two witnesses; agent's acknowledgment: No signed acceptance is required before acting; recording for real estate: The chapter doesn't require recording a power of attorney to convey real property; durable after incapacity: Include durable wording if it should keep working after incapacity. Healthcare: The same chapter covers health care decisions, so a health care power of attorney under it is signed the same way: notary or two qualified witnesses.
- Signing-day sheet. Who has to be there (2 witnesses for the financial document; for the healthcare one, 2 witnesses or a notary), and their ID.
- After signing: copies, recording and the agent. Recording: The chapter doesn't require recording a power of attorney to convey real property. Agent: An agent accepts by acting or other conduct showing acceptance. Plus a copies log.
- Washington POA signing tracker (Excel). Signing-day steps with a status, everyone's ID, a copies log and an agent's ledger.
- In Washington's own words. Witnesses: "unrelated to the principal or agent by blood, marriage, or state registered domestic partnership." Agent's acknowledgment: "by exercising authority or performing duties as an agent." Recording for real estate: "filing notice with the county recorder's office in the county where the principal resides." Durable after incapacity: "This power of attorney shall not be affected by disability of the principal." Healthcare power of attorney: "authorized to provide informed consent for health care decisions on the principal's behalf."

Common questions
Who has to be at a Washington power of attorney signing, according to the kit?

What happens after signing in Washington?
The agent: An agent accepts by acting or other conduct showing acceptance. Real estate: The chapter doesn't require recording a power of attorney to convey real property.
Does it cover a Washington healthcare power of attorney?
Yes, with its own checklist. The same chapter covers health care decisions, so a health care power of attorney under it is signed the same way: notary or two qualified witnesses.
Which Washington statute language does the kit quote?
Agent's acknowledgment: "by exercising authority or performing duties as an agent." Recording for real estate: "filing notice with the county recorder's office in the county where the principal resides." Durable after incapacity: "This power of attorney shall not be affected by disability of the principal." Healthcare power of attorney: "authorized to provide informed consent for health care decisions on the principal's behalf." Each quote is printed with its source.
