What Is Powers of Attorney?

A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to act on your behalf in financial, medical, or other personal matters. This trusted person, called your agent or attorney-in-fact, steps in to make decisions when you’re unable to do so.

Whether you’re planning for the future or managing an immediate need, a properly executed power of attorney gives you control over your affairs while ensuring your wishes are honored.

Types of Powers of Attorney

Understanding the right power of attorney for your situation is essential. Below are the most common options available in North Carolina:

1. Health Care Power of Attorney

This allows your appointed agent to make critical medical decisions on your behalf if you cannot. It includes decisions about treatment, care plans, and end-of-life wishes.

2. Financial Power of Attorney

Authorize someone to handle your financial matters, such as paying bills, managing bank accounts, and selling property. This type is also referred to as a durable financial power of attorney if effective immediately or a springing power of attorney if taking effect under certain conditions, such as incapacitation.

3. Limited Power of Attorney

A limited or special power of attorney grants authority for specific tasks, such as signing documents or accessing a single account while you’re unavailable.
