Connecticut Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows someone (the “Principal”) to appoint another person (the “Agent”) to act on their behalf in managing financial, legal, and other matters. The document is used to grant authority to handle any type of business transaction or to make any kind of decision on behalf of the Principal. The Agent has the authority to make decisions that are binding on the Principal, within the scope of the Power of Attorney document. There are two main types of Connecticut Power of Attorney: General Power of Attorney and Limited Power of Attorney. General Power of Attorney grants broad authority to an Agent to act on the Principal's behalf in a variety of matters. Limited Power of Attorney is more specific and only grants authority for a specific task or set of tasks.
