Power of Attorney tells you how a legal document called a power of attorney can be used to give someone the authority to take care of financial and legal matters for you. It explains the types of power of attorney, who can be an attorney, how to make a power of attorney, and how to end a power of attorney.
We have tried to use clear language throughout. See the "Glossary" section for definitions of key legal terms, which are also bolded in the text.
