Connecticut POA requirements
Key features in Connecticut
- Power categories A through N (general authority categories from the Uniform Power of Attorney Act)
- 9 optional estate-planning powers (O through W) requiring separate initials: inter vivos trust creation/amendment, gifts, rights of survivorship, beneficiary designations, joint-and-survivor annuity waiver, fiduciary delegation, disclaimer, digital assets, intellectual property
- Required statutory short-form notice to principal under §1-352(a)(2)
- Agent acceptance is by conduct under §1-350l; no notarized agent acknowledgment required
- Notarization recommended but not required for validity; acknowledgment creates a presumption that the principal's signature is genuine (§1-350d)
