When you have power of attoreny how do you actually sign person's name along with your name?
You sign and print their name then you sign and print next to it as POA.
You are power of attorney what do you do now?
You are an attorney-in-fact under a Power of Attorney. The person who executed the POA is the principal.You should read the POA document to learn what powers you have thereunder. You can sign for the principal on almost anything that requires a signature when you are requested to do so by the principal. You should have a copy of the POA in your wallet at all times. Any entity that must rely on your power under the POA should have an original copy on file such as a bank, hospital, pharmacy, doctor's office, etc. When you sign for the principal you should sign the principal's name on the signature line and underneath that line there should be printed, "By Jane Smith attorney-in-fact for Donald Smith".
What if you don't want to be a power of attorney?
Then you do not have to be, you can either sign a power of attorney revocation form if you already have authorized a POA form or you can just not sign the POA form if you are being asked to be power of attorney.
Can my attorney in fact under my power of attorney sign a deed to my property with my permission?
Yes, if the power of attorney gives them the right to sign for property. Read carefully what you sign. If you have already signed one and now feel unsure, revoke it immediately. Consult an attorney quickly if they have already sold your property without your consent or knowledge.
Does the principal have to sign the power of attorney?
If the principal is mentally capable but physically unable to sign their name any mark will suffice as their signature. It must be witnessed. In order to protect the POA from being challenged later this particular POA should be drafted by an attorney.
If your father appointed your brother to POA over your mother and your father died is the POA still legal?
In the US: Your father cannot "appoint" anyone as attorney-in-fact under a POA for your mother.That POA would not be legal unless your mother signed it. If she did sign it she can revoke it at any time in writing and deliver a copy to your brother and any facility where it has been used in the past. If she didn't sign it, the POA was only effective for your father and it expired when he died. Only your mother can appoint her own attorney-in-fact, voluntarily. She is an independent adult with her very own legal existence and rights. She can execute a POA and appoint who she chooses.
Can a POA pass the grantor's checks through the POA's own account?
No, a power of attorney (POA) cannot use the grantor's checks through the POA's own account. A POA is obligated to act in the best interest and welfare of the grantor, and using the grantor's checks for personal gain would be a breach of fiduciary duty. The POA should only use the grantor's assets for the grantor's benefit and within the bounds of the law.
How do you say cool in Swahili?

Can a bank decline a power of attorney because the principal is incarcerated and cannot be present to sign?
When a principal executes a Power of Attorney it is for the purpose of allowing someone else, the attorney-in-fact, to sign for them BECAUSE they cannot sign in person. The bank should accept a properly executed POA.
If you had power of attorney and it was revoked and another POA is abusing the privileges what can be done to insure that person does not get everything once the person dies?
A POA gives one person (the attorney-in-fact) the authority to sign legal documents on the behalf of another (the principal). The fundamental reason for a POA is for the convenience of the principal. There are no personal privileges accorded to the POA unless they are set forth in the instrument that created the POA. If the attorney-in-fact is abusing their authority the abuse should be brought to the attention of the principal so they can revoke the POA. Only the principal can revoke a POA. If the principal is not capable of making the decision to revoke the POA or have become vulnerable to undue influence then you should seek legal advice to discuss your options. Perhaps a guardianship or conservatorship is needed. If someone is appointed guardian, the power of attorney would be extinguished. A POA expires when the principal dies. Therefore the attorney-in-fact has no special status as an heir when the principal dies unless you think they have used undue influence on the principal to draft a will that unjustly favors the attorney-in-fact. Again, you should discuss this situation with an attorney who can review the situation and explain the options.

Can a power of attorney sign for a car loan?
It depends on the power that the POA-holder was granted. If they hold a POA for only specifically named situations - and selling property is not listed - then they cannot. If they hold a 'general POA, then yes, they can sign in lieu of the individual who granted it to them.
