You must be at least 18 years old to be an attorney-in-fact under a Power of Attorney. However, an attorney-in-fact has complete control over the property of the principal and should have the maturity and good judgment to fulfill that roll in a responsible manner. It is generally unlikely that an 18 year old has the knowledge and experience to carry on all the business for a principal. In such cases, the POA can be limited in writing to a few specific powers such as banking and bill paying. The attorney-in-fact can be sued for any breach of their duty.

You should consult an attorney for help in drafting a POA document.
