What’s an ALR?

An Authorized Legal Representative is someone who is legally authorized under state and federal law to make decisions on behalf of a beneficiary.

Bound by law and love

You’re an ALR if:

  • You have been selected by the eligible ABLE beneficiary with legal capacity to act as ALR

  • You can attest that you have Power of Attorney, or are the Legal Guardian or Conservator for the beneficiary

  • You’re the spouse, parent, sibling, or grandparent of a beneficiary 

  • You’re a representative payee (individual or organization)

If you don’t meet these requirements, you can use this form for limited Power of Attorney.

Securing peace of mind

Alabama ABLE is an investment tool for people with disabilities, allowing individuals to save for the future, build wealth, and continue to receive needed state and federal benefits. Beneficiaries can save for what’s needed today and plan for what’s needed in the future — things like a home, assistive technology, in-home services, training for a first job or retirement, and more.
