Browse the storeWho it is for
Anyone signing a power of attorney in Michigan, the agent who will act under it, and family members helping on signing day. Michigan has a statutory form (Statutory form power of attorney (MCL 556.401)); the kit links it and organizes the signing around it.
Not the right fit if
The person signing doesn't live in Michigan, 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 Michigan power of attorney data file, checked November 2026 against Uniform Power of Attorney Act, Act 187 of 2023 (Michigan Legislature); Planning for Your Peace of Mind (Michigan Legislature, revised 12/2025).
- All 8 Michigan facts are confirmed on an official page.
- The act behind it: MCL 556.201: the uniform power of attorney act, Act 187 of 2023, in effect July 1, 2024.
- For the estate side in Michigan, the Michigan Executor and Estate Kit: $50,000 adjusted each year: $53,000 for deaths in 2026, $51,000 for deaths in 2025 (Treasury notice of January 30, 2026). No real property can be in the estate.
What is inside
- Start here. The 8 confirmed Michigan facts at a glance.
- Michigan signing checklist, financial and healthcare. Step by step in signing order: statutory form: Start from the official form: Statutory form power of attorney (MCL 556.401); 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: The agent signs before acting; recording for real estate: The act has no recording requirement; a power to convey real property doesn't need the legal description; durable after incapacity: Durable if executed with a notary or two witnesses, unless it says incapacity ends it. Healthcare: A patient advocate designation is signed, dated and witnessed by two people; close relatives, heirs and the physician can't witness.
- Signing-day sheet. Who has to be there (2 witnesses for the financial document; for the healthcare one, 2 witnesses), and their ID.
- After signing: copies, recording and the agent. Recording: The act has no recording requirement; a power to convey real property doesn't need the legal description. Agent: Before acting under a durable power of attorney, the agent signs an acknowledgment of duties, substantially in the statute's form (MCL 556.402). Plus a copies log.
- Michigan POA signing tracker (Excel). Signing-day steps with a status, everyone's ID, a copies log and an agent's ledger.
- In Michigan's own words. Notary: "Be acknowledged by the principal before a notary public or other individual authorized to take acknowledgments." Witnesses: "A witness may not be an agent nominated in the power." Agent's acknowledgment: "Before exercising authority under a durable power of attorney, an agent shall execute an acknowledgment" Recording for real estate: "does not need to contain the real property's legal description." Durable after incapacity: "is durable unless it expressly provides that it is terminated by the incapacity of the principal." Healthcare power of attorney: "in writing, signed, dated, witnessed by two people, and executed voluntarily."
