A power of attorney is a legal tool that lets you appoint an agent to handle financial affairs on your behalf.
There are different types, including durable POAs, medical directives, and springing powers that take effect under specific conditions.
In California, a power of attorney is a written document naming an agent and describing the authority granted to manage your affairs.
Selecting a trusted agent, outlining the scope of authority, deciding when the power begins, and ensuring proper execution with witnesses or a notary are essential steps.
The glossary below defines common terms to help you understand your POA options.
A durable power of attorney stays effective if you later become incapacitated, unless you revoke it.
The person you name to act on your behalf under the POA, responsible for following your instructions.
A springing power of attorney becomes active only when a defined event or condition occurs, such as incapacity.
Designates who makes medical decisions for you when you cannot communicate your wishes.
