What is a power of attorney?
A power of attorney (PoA) is a legal document that can be used to give someone else the authority to make important decisions on your behalf if you are no longer able to or to support you to make these decisions. These are decisions that relate to your personal affairs and may concern your finances, your property and your welfare.
The person who gives the powers is known as the granter. The person who is given the powers to make decisions is called the attorney. Having a PoA allows you to identify a person that knows you and what is important to you that you trust to make these decisions for you. It also allows you to make sure that your attorney has all the information they need about your opinions and views should they need to act on your behalf.
