Maryland Power of Attorney Templates

Maryland Power of Attorney documents are legal instruments that allow one person (known as the "principal") to grant another person (known as the "attorney-in-fact" or "agent") the authority to act on their behalf in various legal and financial matters. The purpose of a Maryland Power of Attorney is to provide a way for individuals to appoint someone they trust to make important decisions and handle their affairs when they are unable to do so themselves. This could be due to reasons such as illness, incapacity, absence, or simply needing assistance in managing their affairs. The specific powers and responsibilities granted to the attorney-in-fact can be customized based on the principal's needs and preferences. Examples of matters that a Maryland Power of Attorney can cover include managing finances, selling or purchasing property, paying bills, making healthcare decisions, and signing legal documents.
