Can Somebody With Power of Attorney Do Anything They Please?

Power of attorney is a legal document that allows an individual to give another person (or persons) the authority to act on his/her behalf. This can be useful for a number of reasons ranging from health issues, to financial issues, to legal matters.

This document does not make the person you name your guardian or conservator. For example, if you want someone else to be able to make medical decisions for you in case you are incapacitated, you would sign a Health Care Power of Attorney instead of a simple Power of Attorney.

The general procedure is as follows:

As the title suggests, a power of attorney is a legal document that authorizes another person to act on your behalf. A power of attorney can be very broad in its scope, allowing the agent to make legal and financial decisions, or it can be narrow, simply authorizing the agent to transfer money to various financial institutions. In practice, it’s most common for powers of attorney contracts to be used in health-related situations — for instance, when someone has been hospitalized and is incapacitated, or if someone is suffering from dementia and isn’t able to manage their own affairs.

In this article, we’ll talk about what powers of attorney are and who needs them. We’ll also discuss some important issues related to powers of attorney here in Florida, including the difference between Utah’s statutory form and a common-law form.

This is a topic that many people in the US don’t consider until they are faced with it. Power of Attorney (POA) is not a very sexy topic and the idea of losing your mental capacity or being incapacitated to the point where you can no longer make decisions on your own is something most people don’t want to think about. But, it’s important to consider who may have legal rights over your affairs if you are not able to make these decisions for yourself.
