A power of attorney empowers your attorney to do almost anything you can lawfully do for yourself. It binds you to the terms of any agreements and documents the attorney signs on your behalf whether for personal or business purposes. Generally you are bound by the terms and conditions imposed by the acts of the attorney regardless of whether you are aware of them or not. You power of attorney remains in force even you are declared bankrupt. The few things the general power of attorney does not empower the attorney to do are: 1. Make or revoke a will for you 2. Vote for you in any election 3. Marry or divorce on your behalf 4. Give oaths on your behalf (statutory declarations, affidavits etc.) 5. Make medical, dental or lifestyle decision for you. 6.
