What is Power of Attorney? | Richard D Talbert PC Attorneys
Power of Attorney: What is it?
Power of attorney is written authorization to represent someone else for their private affairs, business, and all legal matters. This allows someone to represent your behalf if you were to become physically and/or mentally impaired or pass away. You do not have to grant power of attorney to someone who practices law. It can be a trusted friend, family member, spouse, child, it doesn’t matter. However, it needs to be at least 18 years of age and of sound mind.
This person will act on your behalf and make all decisions regarding your finances, well-being, assets, and other affairs. So, you should choose someone who you trust completely and believe will act in your best interest.
