Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants someone, known as the "donor" or "principal," the ability to appoint another person, known as the "donee" or "attorney-in-fact," to act on their behalf and make decisions or carry out specific tasks. The donee is typically granted authority over financial and legal matters.

General Power of Attorney: This type of POA grants the donee broad powers to manage the donor's affairs, including financial transactions, property matters, and legal decisions. It remains valid even if the donor becomes mentally incapacitated.

It is advisable to seek legal advice from us when creating a Power of Attorney. We can guide you through the process, explain your rights and obligations, and help ensure that your document complies with the relevant laws and regulations.
