Power of Attorney

POA or Power of Attorney means to authorize a person, agent or company. There are a few types of POA or Power of Attorneys like Special Power of Attorney and General Power of Attorney etc as well. A person who can legally act on behalf of others, because he is authorized is called an Attorney-in-Fact. The Authority of the person or agent can be limited or fully in practice. What is a POA or Power of Attorney indeed:

• It is a legal document where one person is provided with the power/authority to act on behalf of other people with his will, to perform a few actions on his behalf. General POA can be restricted while SPA or special power of attorney provided almost full authority. However, it also depends upon the script in POA or Power of Attorney. Draft Special Power of Attorney, Draft General Power of Attorney is drafted by Law experts usually.
• The principal is not available, it is mostly the reason. We prefer and recommend people should take every decision and action on their behalf. But if they are not available, then this can be exercised.
• When the principal is available but he is not healthy, disabled, and physically not active to work, then the Power of Attorney is drafted as Durable Power of Attorney. Durable Power of Attorney is the POA where the Attorney-in-Principal is continued to represent the disabled person or the person who is not physically well. Anyhow, both conditions are temporarily unavailability. Let’s discuss the types further

Special Power of Attorney

Special Power of Attorney is POA, where the agent is provided with the legal authority to deal with specific matters. It is a POA where the Attorney-in-Fact has the specific rights or limited rights to perform a specific job or to deal with a specific job.

Special POA might also provide your Children to take the decision on your behalf. But the scope here at SPA is not broad. It can also be mentioned in the script when it will be valid, and how long it will be valid. Set all the terms and conditions first with the agent or the person. POA is a sensitive and important instrument therefore it should not be shared with everyone.
