Edit Legal Delaware Elder Law Forms For Free

An individual uses the Delaware durable personal power of attorney to authorize a third party to manage the individual's property and financial matters (12 Del. C. §§ 49A-101 to 49A-301).

A Delaware limited power of attorney form allows a person to select an agent to perform a specific financial act to their benefit. The principal may choose to elect to have the form become void after the task is complete, at a specific date, or upon violating any condition described therein.

In Delaware, a power of attorney requires the principal, or the person granting the power, to be at least 18 years old and mentally competent. The document must clearly state the powers granted to the agent, who will be acting on the principal's behalf, and must be signed by the principal.

A Durable Power of Attorney is a written document authorizing another to act as one's agent or attorney. It is typically employed to designate a responsible party in case of an anticipated or feared disability.

Upon receipt of a certified copy of an order of a court of competent jurisdiction changing the name of a person born in Delaware and upon request of such person or his or her parents, guardian, or legal representative, the State Registrar shall amend the certificate of birth to show the new name.

To be admitted to the Delaware Bar, each applicant must take and pass the Delaware Bar Examination, complete the Clerkship and Clerkship Checklist, and demonstrate their character and fitness to practice law. There are no different procedures for persons admitted in other jurisdictions.
