Browse the storeWho it is for
Anyone signing a power of attorney in Texas, the agent who will act under it, and family members helping on signing day. Texas has a statutory form (Statutory Durable Power of Attorney); the kit links it and organizes the signing around it.
Not the right fit if
The person signing doesn't live in Texas, 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 Texas power of attorney data file, checked November 2026 against Powers of Attorney, Commonly Requested Legal Forms (Texas State Law Library); Medical Power of Attorney Designation of Health Care Agent (Texas Health and Human Services); H.B. 1974 (2017), enrolled, durable powers of attorney, Estates Code 751 (Texas Legislature); Estates Code Chapter 751, General provisions regarding durable powers of attorney (Texas Legislature).
- All 8 Texas facts are confirmed on an official page.
- The act behind it: Estates Code 751.001 cites the subtitle as the Durable Power of Attorney Act (Acts 2011, H.B. 2759, in effect January 1, 2014).
What is inside
- Start here. The 8 confirmed Texas facts at a glance.
- Texas signing checklist, financial and healthcare. Step by step in signing order: statutory form: Start from the official form: Statutory Durable Power of Attorney; notary: Sign in front of a notary, who completes an acknowledgment; witnesses: The list of requirements in Estates Code 751.0021 is a writing, the principal's signature, durable wording and an acknowledgment; witnesses aren't among them; agent's acknowledgment: No signed acceptance is required before acting; recording for real estate: If the agent will sign a deed or mortgage, record the power of attorney with the county; durable after incapacity: Include durable wording if it should keep working after incapacity. Healthcare: The medical power of attorney is valid only if acknowledged before a notary or signed before two competent adult witnesses. The agent, relatives, heirs, the attending physician and some facility staff can't witness.
- Signing-day sheet. Who has to be there (a notary; for the healthcare one, 2 witnesses or a notary), and their ID.
- After signing: copies, recording and the agent. Recording: For a real property transaction that needs a recorded instrument, the power of attorney is recorded with the county clerk where the property is, no later than 30 days after the instrument is filed (751.151). Agent: An agent accepts by exercising authority or performing duties, unless the power of attorney says otherwise (751.022). Plus a copies log.
- Texas POA signing tracker (Excel). Signing-day steps with a status, everyone's ID, a copies log and an agent's ledger.
- In Texas's own words. Notary: "A notary is needed." Agent's acknowledgment: "A person accepts appointment as an agent under a durable power of attorney by exercising authority" Recording for real estate: "must be recorded in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the property is located" Durable after incapacity: "This power of attorney is not affected by subsequent disability or incapacity of the principal" Healthcare power of attorney: "You Sign It In The Presence Of Two Competent Adult Witnesses."
