Special Power of Attorney

A Special Power of Attorney is a legal document that grants someone you trust, called an agent or attorney-in-fact, the authority to act on your behalf for specific, clearly defined tasks or decisions. It is limited in scope and duration, meaning it only covers the particular matter outlined, such as selling property or managing bank accounts. This arrangement allows you to delegate responsibilities without transferring full control over your affairs. The document is customizable and becomes effective once signed, providing a legal framework for your chosen representative to act on your behalf for that specific purpose.
