A power of attorney is a legal document that binds the agent or attorney-in-fact and the principal. It's used in the event of a principal's temporary or permanent illness or disability or when they can't sign necessary documents. 1 Both parties must sign the document and a third party is usually required to witness it. Most POA documents authorize the agent to represent the principal in all property and financial matters as long as the principal’s mental state of mind is good. The agreement automatically ends if the principal becomes incapable of making decisions for themself. 2 A power of attorney can end for several reasons, such as when the principal revokes the agreement or dies, when a court invalidates it, or when the agent can no longer carry out the responsibilities outlined in the agreement. In the case of a married couple, the authorization may be invalidated if the principal and the agent divorce. Someone who wants the power of attorney to remain in effect after their health deteriorates should sign a durable power of attorney (DPOA). This remains in force even if the person they're representing becomes mentally or physically incapacitated but it doesn't persist after the principal's death. The authority is also voided if the power of attorney isn't designated as durable and the client becomes mentally incapacitated. 3 There are many good reasons to make a power of attorney because it ensures that someone will look after your financial affairs if you become incapacitated. But signing a POA that grants broad authority to an agent is very much like signing a blank check.
