Power of Attorney
A "power of attorney"
is a written document signed by one person authorizing another person
to completely or partially manage's one's financial affairs, including
banking transactions, paying bills and purchasing property. For example,
if you became physically or mentally unable (incapacitated), or if you
plan on being unavailable (i.e. extended vacation), you might need someone
you trust to take care of your financial matters.
The person who creates the power of attorney document is called the
"principal", so if you're the one who drafts and signs a power of attorney,
you're the principal. The person that is authorized to act for the principal
is the "attorney in fact." Any competent adult can serve as an "attorney
in fact" and most definitely does not have to be a lawyer. You may designate
just about whomever you choose, including your husband, daughter or
trusted neighbor.
