Powers of Attorney Generally

A power of attorney (POA) is a written document in which one person delegates legal authority to one or more people or an organization to perform certain actions. Generally speaking, a POA is granted when a person is unavailable or unable to perform those certain actions on their own. A person granting a POA is known as the principal and the person to which a POA is granted is known as the agent or attorney-in-fact. A POA may be revoked in writing if the person granting the POA is competent to do so. A POA expires upon the death of the principal. Read more
