Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is an authorization to act on someone else's behalf, the principal, in legal or business matters. A Power of Attorney appoints an agent, referred to as an attorney-in-fact, to use the authorized power to act on behalf of the principal.
The attorney-in-fact has a fiduciary responsibility and a legal obligation to be honest and loyal to the principal. When appropriate, the Power of Attorney will be provided to entities with which the attorney-in-fact conducts the principal's affairs.
The durable Power of Attorney continues in effect and/or takes effect when the principal is incapacitated or disabled. If the power takes effect only after the principal's incapacity it is referred to as a Springing Power of Attorney due to "springing" into effect upon the occurrence of the event or condition. After such incapacity or event, the Springing POA is identical to a Durable POA.
Power of Attorneys are available for financial, health care, real estate or limited uses.
