Power of Attorney for Common-Law Couples in Florida
A legally valid power of attorney built to Florida’s Florida Probate Code by a licensed attorney — written with common-law couples in mind.
What common-law couples should know
- Common-law partners are often NOT automatically protected by intestacy rules — which makes a will more urgent, not less.
- In many jurisdictions a common-law partner does not inherit automatically without a will.
- Name each other expressly, and name each other as attorney for property and personal care.
- Without documents in place, your partner may have no authority to act for you in a medical emergency.
- Florida follows Florida law — your power of attorney is governed by the Florida Probate Code.
- A Florida will must be signed at the end by you, in the presence of two attesting witnesses, who must sign in your presence and in the presence of each other.
- Florida does not recognise handwritten (holograph) wills that lack the required witnessing — the formalities matter.
