What is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that lets you appoint someone you trust to handle your
personal, financial, or legal affairs if you are unable to do so yourself.

Banking & bills

Allow your agent to manage accounts, pay bills, and handle essential financial commitments on your behalf.

Property decisions

Give clear authority for property and financial decisions when you are unable or unavailable to act.

Legal affairs

Legal and personal matters your agent may handle, while keeping control over the scope of their powers.
