Make a Durable Power of Attorney that provides for the care and maintenance of your pets with this template form for the USA.

This is an immediate power of attorney, which means it becomes effective immediately upon being signed, and remains in effect even if you become disabled or incompetent. In addition to the general powers granted to your attorney to deal with your finances and property, the Power of Attorney contains special instructions that your pets are to be cared for, and the costs of that care are to be paid from your funds.

This is not a medical power of attorney, and does not give your attorney the any powers to make health care decisions for you.

This USA Immediate Durable Power of Attorney with Provisions for Pets is available as a downloadable Microsoft Word document, which is fully editable to meet your needs.
