Information and FAQ

---

All states have special laws providing how a power of attorney must be prepared and executed. If the Power of Attorney is to be recorded, even more State specific requirements apply. Some states also prescribe a recommended form of power of attorney.  Therefore, this is generally a state specific form.

Defined:  A power of attorney is an instrument containing an authorization for one to act as the agent of the principal that terminates at some point in the future either by its terms or by operation of law such as death of the principal or agent. These have also been called letters of attorney.  The person appointment is usually called an Attorney-in-Fact. The person making the power of attorney appointment is called the principal.

Durable:  A durable power of attorney is a power of attorney that remains or becomes effective upon the principal's becoming incompetent or unable to manage his or her affairs.

Durable for Health Care:  A durable power of attorney for health care is a power of attorney where the principal appoints an agent to make health care decisions for the principal and is remains effective even after the incompetence of the principal.  It is often used as a form of advance health care directive.   Compare this to a living will where the person states his or her wishes in case of medical treatment.

General POA:  A general power of attorney is a power of attorney authorizing the agent to carry on business or an enterprise for the principal and usually has broad powers.

Special or Limited POA:  A special or limited  power of attorney is a power of attorney authorizing the agent to carry out a particular business or transaction for the principal.
