This product includes • General Power of Attorney form • Easy-to-Understand instructions for using the form A power of attorney form is a document which is used to allow one person to give authority to another person to act on their behalf. The person signing the power of attorney grants legal authority to another to “stand in their shoes” and act legally for them. It does not mean that the person receiving the power has to be a lawyer. Power of attorney forms can be used to authorize someone to sign certain documents if you cannot be present when the signatures are necessary or to perform any act if you cannot be present when the act is necessary. If your business is a corporation or partnership, you cannot validly give another person a power of attorney to act on behalf of the business unless such a grant of authority has been approved by either the corporation’s board of directors or by the other partners. This particular document provides for a grant of authority to another person to act as your attorney-in-fact. The person granting the power is referred to as the “principal” and the person who is granted the power is referred to as the “attorney-in-fact.” This form should be used only if you need to authorize another to act for you in a specific manner or to perform specific actions. You can select the specific powers that you wish your attorney-in-fact to have. This form can be filled out directly on your computer to give a more professional appearance by using the PDF form or the RTF form. NOTE: Recent changes in New York state laws require the use of the Addendum to Powers of Attorney for the State of New York (included). Price: $9.95 |
