General Power of Attorney Form Templates

General Power of Attorney Forms are legal documents that grant someone else the authority to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf. They are typically used when an individual wants to appoint someone, known as the "attorney-in-fact" or "agent," to handle specific financial or legal matters for them. The scope of authority granted can vary based on the specific language in the document, but it commonly includes tasks such as managing bank accounts, signing contracts, making investments, and handling tax matters. This type of document is especially useful in situations where someone is unable to manage their affairs due to illness, travel, or other reasons.
