When navigating long-term disability, having the right legal authority in place is essential. This Durable Power of Attorney for Long-Term Disability template provides a professional, clear format for granting legal authority to a trusted representative to manage benefits claims, accommodation requests, and workplace matters on your behalf.

Why Use This Template?

Traditional power of attorney documents often involve cumbersome PDFs, manual printing, and slow turnaround times. With Paperform, you can create a modern, accessible form that:

• Captures all essential information including principal details, attorney-in-fact appointment, specific powers granted, and witness requirements
• Uses conditional logic to show relevant sections based on the scope of authority being granted
• Integrates with Papersign for secure electronic signatures from all parties, creating a complete audit trail
• Automates workflows with Stepper to route completed forms to legal review, notify relevant parties, and trigger next steps in the disability claims process

Whether you're a legal professional supporting clients with disability planning, an HR manager facilitating employee assistance, or an individual preparing for potential health challenges, this template provides a professional foundation that can be customized to meet specific state requirements and organizational needs.

The form is structured to clearly outline the scope of authority being granted—from general healthcare decisions to specific workplace representation powers—ensuring all parties understand the legal relationship and responsibilities involved. With Paperform's document-style editor, you can easily add your firm's branding, adjust language to match state-specific requirements, or incorporate additional clauses as needed.

Note: This template provides a starting point for creating power of attorney documents but should be reviewed by a qualified attorney to ensure compliance with your state's laws and specific circumstances. Paperform is not HIPAA compliant and this form should not be used to collect protected health information.
