Power of Attorney gives a person the legal authority to act on another individual’s behalf in legal and/or business matters. Power of attorney may be useful for people that are in frail health and unable to make decisions for themselves. Sometimes individuals may need to hand over power of attorney to another party if they are going to be away and out of contact for a long time. Handing someone power of attorney requires you to fill out a power of attorney form. Below are the basic parts of a power of attorney form.
The first part of the power of attorney form recognizes and grants the other person (the agent) the right to have power of attorney over you.
The next part of a powers of attorney form lists the powers of the agent. The agent will only have legal say over exactly what is specified in the list of powers. This may include but is not exclusive to collecting and maintaining assets, buying and selling property, borrowing and lending money, control over banking accounts, making business decisions, filing tax returns, access to safe deposit boxes, the right to act as a proxy agent in any financial or stock decisions, representation in legal proceedings, transfer of assets and property, employment, and other important decisions. When filling out your power of attorney form, be very specific in this section so that your agent’s powers are clearly defined.
The next section of a power of attorney form lists any restrictions of the agent’s powers. If there is anything that you do not want to let your agent have control over, you should list them here. For example, you may want to make it clear that the agent cannot change your life insurance policy or change your will without your consent.
Next, you will need to specify the duration of the power of attorney and at what point power of attorney can be invoked on your behalf.
You will also need to forfeit your right to hold the agent liable for anything that may happen to you while the agent has power of attorney except in circumstances in which the agent is negligent or displays gross misconduct.
Finally, you will need to specify any conditions that may lead to the power of attorney being revoked. You may also include stipulations for compensation for the agent as well as substitute agents that can take over power of attorney should anything happen to your primary agent.
