Providing power of attorney (POA) is a legal process where an individual, known as the “principal,” grants another person, the “agent” or “attorney-in-fact,” the authority to make decisions on their behalf. This can be related to financial, legal, or medical matters, depending on the type of POA created. The principal typically grants POA to ensure that someone they trust can manage their affairs in the event they become incapacitated or are unavailable.There are various types of power of attorney, including general POA, which gives broad powers to the agent; durable POA, which remains in effect even if the principal becomes mentally incapacitated; and medical POA, which allows the agent to make healthcare decisions if the principal is unable to do so. It is essential for the principal to choose a reliable and trustworthy agent, as they will have significant control over their personal, financial, or medical decisions. To grant POA, a legal document must be drafted, signed by the principal, and often witnessed or notarized to ensure its validity.
