4. Sometimes, however,
our legal professionals are put in a
position where they do have to give legal
recommendations for an individual to
sign a Power of Attorney (POA). . .

5. …especially
when circumstances begin getting
difficult for that said individual

6. to make sound legal decisions in
specific matters or might not otherwise
have the capability of doing so.

7. What is a Power of Attorney?

8. A Power of Attorney (POA)
Is a legal document or letter giving another
person the written authority to make
decisions for a particular individual.

9. The individual signing the POA is
known as a guarantor, principal, or
sometimes called a DONOR

10. The person receiving these said rights is
called an “agent” in most jurisdictions.
This particular person is given
the decision-making right over
an individual for matters
specified in the POA letter or
document.

11. A POA can have several limitations or
governing regulations,
mainly in terms of time and
legal areas of representation.

12. For example,
Ms Gonzalez can sign over the decision-
making rights to her sister, for all
purposes of renting her property in Los
Angeles, California, while she is away
in France.

13. The time limitation is based on her
being away and the legal representation
of decision-making reflects only on her
property as specified in the POA.

14. When do you need a Power of Attorney?

15. There are several circumstances that you will
consider having a Power of Attorney.

16. Here are several examples…

17.  if you have to be away for extended periods
of time out of the state or the country, and
cannot be present to sign legal documents;

18.  if you have rental property but live in a
different state or country;

19.  if you feel that you might become physically
and/or mentally disabled to make sound
legal decisions;

20.  if you have property, assets, minor
children, or other legal concerns, and
are not capable of making these
decisions.

21. A word of caution . . .

22. Not everyone can handle making legal
decisions on behalf of someone else.

23. When assigning a Power of Attorney,
always consider who and why you
have chosen a particular person to
make legal decisions for you.
