A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives a trusted person legal authority to act on your behalf, and make financial/or legal decisions.
This can be in the form of:
- General Power of Attorney - which lets someone temporarily manage your affairs, such as if you're going away.
- Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) - which lets someone manage your affairs on a longer term basis.
