A power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone else the power to make decisions on your behalf.
You may need a power of attorney if you are unable to make your own decisions due to illness, injury, or old age.
You can give your attorney-in-fact the power to make decisions about your finances, healthcare, and other matters.
You can create a power of attorney by signing a document in front of a notary public.
There are two main types of power of attorney: general and durable.
A general power of attorney gives your attorney-in-fact the power to make all decisions on your behalf.
A durable power of attorney remains in effect even if you become incapacitated.
You can revoke a power of attorney by signing a document revoking it.
You should keep your power of attorney in a safe place where your attorney-in-fact can access it easily.
It is important to contact a lawyer to create a power of attorney that meets your specific needs.
