Powers Of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a legal instrument that is used to delegate legal authority to another. The person who signs (or executes) a Power of Attorney is called the Principal. The power of Attorney gives legal authority to another person (called an Agent or Attorney-in-Fact) to make property, financial and other legal decisions for the Principal.

A Principal can give an Agent broad legal authority, or very limited authority. The Power of Attorney is frequently used to help in the event of a Principal's illness or disability, or in legal transactions where the principal cannot be present to sign necessary legal documents. It can be either for all purposes ("General") or for a specific purpose ("Special" or "Limited"). 

Free General Power of Attorney and Special Power of Attorney forms are provided here for your use. Please review the Power of Attorney FAQ's page and our disclaimer prior to use.

For child care issues, it's a wise choice to complete this Child Care Special Power of Attorney prior to leaving your children with anyone.

** Special note for INCOME TAX ISSUES:  If you want someone to file your federal income tax return for you, you must give your attorney-in-fact a special IRS power of attorney (IRS Form 2848)
