One major downfall of a POA is the agent may act in ways or do things that the principal had not intended. There is no direct oversight of the agent's activities by anyone other than you, the principal. This can lend a hand to situations such as elder financial abuse and/or fraud.
Complete the form, sign it, and have it notarized or witnessed. If you create a medical POA, you need to sign the form in the presence of two witnesses, who must also sign. If you create any other type of POA, you need two witness signatures plus the acknowledgement and signature of a notary public.
Authority of the agent under the Florida power of attorney Many people think that as agents they are able to transfer property to their names in order to avoid probate. However, unless you give initial the power to make gifts, the agents will not be able to freely dispose of any property.
The POA cannot transfer the responsibility to another Agent at any time. The POA cannot make any legal or financial decisions after the death of the Principal, at which point the Executor of the Estate would take over. The POA cannot distribute inheritances or transfer assets after the death of the Principal.
An original power of attorney may be required to be recorded into the Official Records if it is relied upon to affect title to real property. Please seek legal advice regarding use of a power of attorney or review Florida Statute 709 Part II.
