A power of attorney is a legal document in which the person making decisions on behalf of another party is an “attorney-in-fact”, while the “principal” is the person that allows the decisions to be made on his/her behalf. An attorney-in-fact does not necessarily need to be a lawyer. The power given to an “attorney-in-fact” can be fairly limited, for example, the purchase of a single real estate investment. Or it can be almost unlimited – an attorney-in-fact can be given power to make gifts of principal’s property, however not to make a will. All powers of attorney end at the death of the principal specified in a power of attorney. The most common use has the medical basis, where the principal grants certain rights to an attorney-in-fact when the principle becomes incapacitated of making such decisions.
