Powers of Attorney (POA) are powerful legal documents that grant an individual the authority to act on behalf of another person in various matters. In California, there are several types of Powers of Attorney, each serving a specific purpose and providing different levels of authority. As Notaries Public, we play a crucial role in the execution and authentication of these important documents, ensuring that they are legally binding and valid.

  • General Power of Attorney: A General Power of Attorney grants broad authority to the appointed individual (known as the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make financial and legal decisions on behalf of the principal. This type of POA is often used for managing financial affairs, real estate transactions, and other general matters.

  • Limited Power of Attorney: A Limited Power of Attorney, also known as a Special Power of Attorney, grants the agent specific and limited powers to act on behalf of the principal in designated matters. This type of POA is commonly used for specific transactions or situations where the principal may be unavailable or incapacitated.

  • Durable Power of Attorney: A Durable Power of Attorney remains valid even if the principal becomes incapacitated or unable to make decisions. This type of POA is crucial for ensuring that the agent can continue to act on behalf of the principal in the event of a medical emergency or incapacity.

  • Healthcare Power of Attorney: A Healthcare Power of Attorney, also known as a Medical Power of Attorney, grants the agent the authority to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the principal if they are unable to do so. This type of POA is essential for ensuring that the principal’s medical wishes are respected and followed.
