What is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives a trusted person or entity the authority to handle your finances and legal matters, such as signing contracts, selling property, accessing bank accounts. The individual giving control is called the "principal," and the individuals or organizations obtaining powers are known as the "agents."
