Best Answer

No. A general Power of Attorney provides no general power or authority for you to enter another person into a legally binding marriage. A proxy marriage is a marriage where one party stands in for another party. Either the bride or groom is not present. Where proxy marriages are allowed an agent stands in for the party based on a Power of Attorney executed for that purpose. In the United States only five states allow proxy marriages: California, Colorado, Texas, Kansas and Montana. Most proxy marriages are limited to people who are in the military. However, other legal provisions may apply. Not all states recognize proxy marriages. Some states only recognize a marriage by proxy performed in another state as a common law marriage. In many states a common law marriage is not recognized as a legal status. You need to check the rules in your state.
