What is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that authorizes an individual (called the agent or attorney-in-fact) to act on behalf of another person (the principal) in legal, financial, or medical matters. This document outlines the scope of authority granted and can be limited to specific actions or broad in nature. It is commonly used when the principal is unavailable or incapacitated.
Having a Power of Attorney allows your trusted agent to manage your affairs and make decisions in your best interest, ensuring continuity and legal protection.
