Power of Attorney Sample

A power of attorney allows your agent to handle your important affairs for you.

This document is also known as Letter of Attorney.


A POA is a written document in which a person (grantor, principal, or donor) authorizes another person (the agent, attorney-in-fact, or donee) to represent or act on his or her behalf in business issues, private affairs, or other legal matter.

This document is also known as Letter of Attorney.

TYPES OF POA: Blank, General, Specific or Limited, Durable or Enduring, Springing, Financial, Medical, Real Estate.

Not all states require the P.O.A. to be notarized. A notary's seal and signature is used to attest to the fact that the person named in the document is the same person who has signed it. In the US a notary stamp is accepted anywhere, no matter which state the notarization has taken place. Notaries can be found at any courthouse, lawyers offices, car lots, and public offices with notary services.

The power or letter of attorney form below (POA) is just an example. It is not intended to cover all or any legal requirements of one's jurisdiction or legal issues. It is crucial that you consult an attorney to obtain the proper legal advice, assistance and directions on filing legal forms for your specific case correctly, and in order for the document to be legally suitable and effective.

Creating a power of attorney (POA) form involves careful consideration of your specific needs and local legal requirements.
