Using a power of attorney in Arizona
How Arizona’s statute treats durability, statutory forms, real estate, and revocation — with the section each rule comes from.
- Not durable by default. In Arizona the document must say expressly that it survives incapacity — this template includes that language. — A.R.S. §14-5501(A) ↗
- Revoking it. A.R.S. §14-5504 (Revocation; termination; effect; notice) does not prescribe a revocation method; it protects agents/third parties acting in good faith without actual knowledge of the principal's death or incapacity. — A.R.S. §14-5504(A) ↗

What a Arizona power of attorney does
It lets your chosen agent step into your shoes for the tasks you allow — paying bills, managing bank accounts, handling real estate or taxes — which is invaluable if you travel, deploy, or want a plan in case of illness. You stay in control: you decide the powers, whether it’s durable, and you can revoke it anytime.
Signing it correctly in Arizona
A POA only works if institutions accept it, which is why the signing formalities matter. Get itnotarized, add witnesses if Arizona requires them, and check whether your state has a statutory form banks prefer. See the current Arizona power-of-attorney requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Does a Arizona power of attorney have to be notarized?
Yes — in Arizona, a financial power of attorney must be notarized to be valid, and it requires 1 witness (as of 2026). Source: Ariz. Rev. Stat. §14-5501.
What is a durable power of attorney?
A “durable” power of attorney stays in effect even if you later become incapacitated — which is usually the point of having one. A non-durable POA ends if you lose capacity. Set “durable” in the form to keep the agent’s authority in place; this is the more common choice for planning ahead.
What powers can I give my agent?
You can grant broad authority (banking, real estate, bills, taxes, insurance) or limit it to specific tasks. List exactly what you want your agent to handle in the “powers” field. Some acts (like real estate) may need extra formalities to be recorded in Arizona.
Can I revoke it later?
Yes. You can revoke a power of attorney at any time while you have capacity by notifying your agent in writing (and any institution relying on it). Keep the signed original safe and give copies only to those who need them.
Is a power of attorney durable by default in Arizona?
No. In Arizona the document must state expressly that it survives incapacity — this template includes that language. Source: A.R.S. §14-5501(A).
How do I revoke a power of attorney in Arizona?
A.R.S. §14-5504 (Revocation; termination; effect; notice) does not prescribe a revocation method; it protects agents/third parties acting in good faith without actual knowledge of the principal's death or incapacity. Source: A.R.S. §14-5504(A).
