What Are Different Types Of Power Of Attorneys Used For?

A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives someone else the authority to act on your behalf. A POA is often referred to as a “durable” POA. Durable means that the person who holds the POA can continue to act on your behalf even if you become incapacitated. In some states, a durable POA may not need to be registered with any government agency.
