A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document and written authorisation to represent or an act on another’s behalf to act as an agent to manage the property, financial and other affairs. The person authorising the other (called the agent or attorney in fact) is called the principal or donor. A POA can begin immediately or go into effect at some time in the future, and an appointed person (an agent or attorney in fact) is not necessarily a formal or official attorney.
