Comprehensive & Seasoned Power of Attorney Services
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone to act on your behalf in the event of an emergency. This individual (known as the “attorney-in-fact”) can manage your finances, make medical decisions, and even sign legal documents on your behalf.
Different Types of Power of Attorney
- General Power of Attorney: Grants broad powers to the agent to act on behalf of the principal in various financial, legal, and personal matters.
- Limited or Special Power of Attorney: Provides specific powers to the agent for a particular purpose or within a defined timeframe.
- Durable Power of Attorney: Remains in effect even if the principal becomes incapacitated or unable to make decisions.
- Springing Power of Attorney: Becomes effective only upon the occurrence of a specific event or condition, such as the principal's incapacity.
