A Mississippi Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows an individual, known as the "principal," to grant another person, the "agent" or "attorney-in-fact," the authority to make decisions and take actions on their behalf. This document is primarily used when the principal is unable to handle their own affairs due to physical or mental incapacity or if they are unavailable or absent for an extended period. The agent appointed through a Power of Attorney can handle various matters, including financial, legal, and healthcare decisions, depending on the scope granted in the document.
