Power of Attorney FormsA Power of Attorney is a legal document that evidences the creation of a liaison between two people who are designated as “principal” and “agent”. Through this document, the principal authorizes the agent to act on his or her behalf. A Power of Attorney can be general, so that the agent can conduct any sort of business on behalf of the principal, or it may be specific, i.e. restricted to the business expressly mentioned in the document.
Power of AttorneyThe Oxford dictionary defines a Power of Attorney as “the authority to act for another person in specified legal or financial matters”. In other words, granting someone a power of attorney empowers that person to manage your financial or legal affairs within defined boundaries. The person authorizing the other to act is the “Principal” and the one authorized to act is the “Agent” or “Attorney In Fact” (AIF).
Real Estate Power of AttorneyA real estate Power of Attorney grants legal authority to another party or agent to make financial decisions regarding the principal’s real property, including purchase and sale. In particular, the Power of Attorney provides the authority to negotiate, purchase, sell, convey, transfer, mortgage, preserve, or dispose of the real estate property (or properties) mentioned in the form.
Durable Power of AttorneyA Durable Power of Attorney authorizes the principal’s named representative [attorney-in-fact] to continue to act for him or her after he or she become incapacitated; the legal document must contain the words, “This Power of Attorney shall not be affected by my disability” or “This Power of Attorney shall become effective upon my disability” or something along similar lines.
Medical Power of AttorneyA Medical Power of Attorney gives specific instructions, prepared in advance, that are intended to direct medical care for an individual if he or she becomes unable to do so in the future. Plainly speaking, a Medical Power of Attorney is made in anticipation of a medical emergency. If you are in an accident or suffer a disease or disorder that may leave you incapable of making a sound medical decision, a Medical Power of Attorney permits you to choose in advance who will represent and enforce your interests. The person authorizing the other to act on his behalf is the “principal” and the one authorized to act is the "agent".
Limited Power of AttorneyThrough a limited Power of Attorney, the “principal” can authorize another person, i.e. “agent”, to carry out specified tasks on his or her behalf for limited time duration or only under certain circumstances. The Power of Attorney is therefore “limited” or tailored to meet the needs of a particular transaction or set of transactions (i.e., “the purchase of the real estate in Los Angeles, known as 123 Oak Street”) and comprehensively details the expiration date and full extent of the power. Most people choose a limited Power of Attorney because with this form, the principal can give someone the power to manage his or her finances or property and yet rest easy knowing his or her assets are protected.
General Power of AttorneyA general Power of Attorney is used by the principal to allow the agent to handle all of his or her affairs during a period of time when he or she is not capable of doing so, for example, when the principal is traveling out of the country for a long time span or when he or she is physically or mentally unable to handle his or her affairs. Any adult who is of sound mind and is competent to contract can execute a general Power of Attorney in favor of another adult who is of sound mind and is competent to contract.
