A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives a person or entity the authority to make decisions on another person’s behalf. The person granting the POA is the principal for various legal and financial purposes. The “agent” is the party appointed to act on behalf of the principal. They’re also known as the “attorney-in-fact.” A power of attorney can be general or limited in scope, depending on the specific powers granted by the principal.
Common situations where a power of attorney may be needed include estate planning, incapacity planning, and managing financial affairs. In estate planning, for example, a financial power of attorney allows an individual to designate someone to take care of their financial affairs if they can’t make their own decisions because of incapacitation. This ensures that someone trustworthy is authorized to manage their affairs and assets according to their wishes.
Types of Power of Attorney

A durable power of attorney remains effective even if the principal becomes incapacitated, providing ongoing authority for the agent to act on their behalf.
Health Care Power of Attorney
Also known as a medical power of attorney, this document authorizes the agent to make medical treatment decisions or other healthcare decisions on behalf of the principal if the principal is unable to do so themselves.
Limited Power of Attorney
This type of power grants specific powers to the agent for a limited duration or purpose, such as signing documents or conducting transactions.
