Using a power of attorney in Utah
How Utah’s statute treats durability, statutory forms, real estate, and revocation — with the section each rule comes from.
- Uniform act. Utah has adopted the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, so its rules on agent duties and third-party acceptance follow the national model. — Utah Code Title 75A, Chapter 2 'Uniform Power of Attorney Act' (originally enacted 2016 as 75-9; renumbered to 75A-2 eff. Sept. 1, 2024, Laws of Utah 2024 ch. 364) ↗
- Durable by default. In Utah a power of attorney stays effective if you become incapacitated unless the document says otherwise. — Utah Code § 75A-2-104 (Renumbered and Amended by Chapter 364, 2024 General Session, eff. 9/1/2024; formerly § 75-9-104, eff. 5/10/2016) ↗
- Statutory form. Utah’s code includes an optional form (Statutory Form Power of Attorney, Utah Code § 75A-2-301 (formerly § 75-9-301)); banks are most familiar with it. — Utah Code § 75A-2-301 (eff. 9/1/2024; Chapter 364, 2024 General Session) ↗
- Agent’s certification. Agent's Certification as to the Validity of Power of Attorney and Agent's Authority, Utah Code § 75A-2-302 (optional form; formerly § 75-9-302) — Utah Code § 75A-2-302 (eff. 9/1/2024) ↗
- Revoking it. A POA terminates when the principal dies, becomes incapacitated (if not durable), revokes it, it provides for termination, its purpose is accomplished, or the sole agent's authority ends (§ 75A-2-110(1)); agent's authority also ends on revocation, death, incapacity, resignation or divorce filing. — Utah Code § 75A-2-110 (eff. 9/1/2024; formerly § 75-9-110) ↗

What a Utah 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.
If your agent will sign a deed for you, the deed itself still has to meet Utah’s rules for signing and recording — the Utah quitclaim deed page lists them, with the statute.
Signing it correctly in Utah
A POA only works if institutions accept it, which is why the signing formalities matter. Get it notarized, add witnesses if Utah requires them, and check whether your state has a statutory form banks prefer. See the current Utah power-of-attorney requirements.
