Best Answer

The following is general information:

The attorney in fact should keep an original copy in their wallet if it is to be used regularly at any facility such as a bank. Also, it should be placed on file at your doctor's office, hospital, bank, investment office, insurance company or any facility where it will be used regularly or in an emergency. If it will be used to manage real estate it should be recorded in the land records and some jurisdictions will require that an affidavit be filed any time it is used to transfer an interest in the real estate. The affidavit must state the principal has not died and the POA has not been revoked.

If you are the attorney in fact under a power of attorney you cannot assign your power to anyone else.
