| | Encyclopedia: Power of attorney |
 | | A power of attorney or letter of attorney in common law systems or mandate in civil law systems is an authorization to act on someone else's behalf in a legal or business matter. | | | A power of attorney may be "special" or "limited" to one specified act or type of act, or it may be "general," and whatever it defines as its scope is what a court will enforce as being its scope. | | | This means, for example, that if you give someone your power of attorney to sign the papers to sell your house, and the law requires that signature on the deed to be notarized, then your power of attorney authorizing that attorney in fact to sign the deed must be notarized, too. |

| | A power of attorney is a written document authorizing another party to act as agent (attorney), with certain powers to act on behalf of the person who appointed the attorney (the "principal"). | | | In the case of a "springing power of attorney" which becomes effective upon your incapacity in the future, the document must also be kept in a place that is known to, and is accessible to, the person(s) you appointed as your attorney. | | | Limited Power of Attorney: A limited (or special) power of attorney gives your attorney only very specific powers, so that he or she can handle a particular matter if you are unable to deal with it for any reason (such as buying or selling property, signing legal documents for a transaction, etc). |

| | The attorney in fact named in a durable power of attorney may transact business for the principal until the principal dies, revokes the power, or is determined by a court to be incapacitated. | | | The Florida statute governing a durable power of attorney was amended by this year’s legislature to permit a person to condition the effective date of a durable power of attorney upon his or her actually becoming incapacitated. | | | However, a court may determine that certain authority granted by the durable power of attorney may continue to be exercised by the attorney in fact even after the principal is determined to be incapacitated. |

| | Power of Attorney |
| | A "power of attorney" is a legal instrument which grants another person the authority to act as your legal representative, and to make binding legal and financial decisions on your behalf. | | | A "general" power of attorney is unlimited in scope and duration, and permits the named individual to act as your legal representative in relation to financial matters until such time as it is revoked. | | | A "specific" power of attorney imposes limits upon the named representative, and may restrict the scope of that person's powers to a single type of conduct or a single transaction. |
