A power of attorney is a pretty standard document. You can find the forms on the internet. Fill them out and have your signature notorized and hand the document to the person. It can be a hassle for the person and they then have the ability to do whatever they want with your stuff, so you want to limit the power of attorney to specific transactions or items. It would be a good idea to consult an attorney to insure you aren't getting yourself into trouble.

There are ALL types of POA's (general/limited/medical/etc/etc) and without proper legal counsel it is too easy to do something un-intended. By giving a POA you are essentially giving away some or all of your rights and privileges to someone else.
