POWER OF ATTORNEY LEGAL FORMS
SOFTWARE
Sometimes in our lives, a situation will arise where the mental or
physical capacities of a person are reduced to the point where he can
no longer make decisions for himself. Daily decisions must be left in
the hands of another trusted person.
Or maybe another situation occurs where person is unable to personally
attend to a specific legal affair or piece of business, and wishes to
have a designated representative handle the affair or transaction on
his behalf.
In either case, what's needed is a Power
of Attorney. A Power of Attorney document allows one
person to designate another person to handle the business, financial
and legal affairs of the person signing the form, either for a specific
function or for overall day-to-day needs.
There are three types of Power of Attorney forms contained within the
Standard Legal Software package:
Three Types of Power of Attorney
DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY
Used to permit a third party (an "attorney-in-fact") to conduct or
engage in almost ANY
FORM OR TYPE of business on the part of the person signing
the form - such as buying, selling or transferring property, signing
documents, purchasing assets, opening bank accounts, buying stocks,
etc., all in the name of the person signing the form (and with money
owned by the person signing this form). This document is appropriate
for individuals who do not wish to engage in such transactions or no
longer desire to do the same (for example, but not limited to, an
elderly or disabled individuals who can no longer leave their residence
to conduct certain business, or individuals that may be leaving the
country for a lengthy period of time who desire someone to handle their
business on their behalf).
I often used these in the military, and, having lived in a military
town, saw many used by spouses of service members serving in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY
Used to permit a third party (again, an "attorney-in-fact") to conduct
or engage in the specific business or transaction stated on the
document on the part of the person signing the form.
This document differs from the Durable Power of Attorney in two ways:
1) The authority granted under this document is limited to the tasks,
business or transactions specifically stated in the document;
2) The authority granted under this document is limited in time, i.e.
if the action or business is not taken or engaged in by the date set
forth on the document, the authority to do the same lapses. This
document is appropriate for individuals who cannot take certain actions
on their own because they are unavailable to do so or to do so would
result in some inconvenience.
REVOCATION OF POWER OF ATTORNEY
This document allows the user to end a Power of Attorney relationship,
giving back to the maker all legal authority to again handle the
business and/or financial affairs that were previously assigned through
the initial Power of Attorney action.
WARNING: THESE POWER OF ATTORNEY FORMS, DESPITE THEIR SEEMING SIMPLICITY ARE REALLY VERY POWERFUL LEGAL DOCUMENTS!
The person(s) named as as the maker's "attorney-in-fact" by a power of attorney (POA) will have the ability -- once these documents are signed, witnessed and
notarized and provided to such person(s) -- to conduct the business, transaction or engage in the conduct set forth on the document. In
short, these documents allow the persons named as attorney-in-fact to carry out the business of the person signing this document, the same
way as if he or she could do it him or herself. The persons named as "attorney-in-fact" must be trustworthy and have the best interest of
the person signing this document in mind, so this program and the resulting forms should be used with the utmost care.
