Bilingual Power of Attorney by State (English / Español)

A bilingual power of attorney sets out who you appoint and what they may do, in English on the left and Spanish on the right, paragraph by paragraph — so the principal, the agent, and the family members involved all read the same page. Pick your state to get the form with the right framing and its notarization and witness rules.

When at least one party has signed, the PDF and Word file end with a signature certificate (who signed, when, and a SHA-256 fingerprint you can check later).

When a bilingual power of attorney helps

A power of attorney hands real authority over money and property to another person, so everyone involved should understand it — the principal who signs it, the agent who will use it, and relatives who may question it later. When some of those people read Spanish and others English, one side-by-side document is clearer than two separate copies. Banks and agencies read the English column, which is the operative text; the Spanish column is a translation for reading. Whatever the language, sign it before a notary (and witnesses where your state requires them), or institutions may not accept it.

What it includes

Principal and agent names and addresses
The powers granted, the effective date, and whether the POA is durable
A governing-law paragraph naming your state and a revocation statement
A language clause (English controls), one bilingual signature block, and notary and witness lines

Each state's notary and witness rules, cited to the statute, are on the English power of attorney pages and in the 50-state comparison; the bilingual page for your state shows the headline rules and links there for the rest.
