Attorney Approved Version!

Often, a financial power of attorney is very broad, and enables your agent to do most anything you can do.

For example, you can authorize your agent to do any or all of the following for you:

Bank transactions
Borrow money
Manage, buy, or sell property
Manage legal claims
Prepare and file tax returns
Enter into contracts
Collect benefits
Pay bills

Generally, you would want this type of power of attorney to come into effect if you suffer a disability or injury that leaves you unable to make financial decisions. However, you can also limit the powers if you need an agent to perform only one or a small number of actions for you for a limited period of time.

Signing Requirements – Must be signed by the principal and the agent. The principal is required to sign before a notary public, attorney-at-law, or another individual authorized to take acknowledgments under R.S.46:14-6.1 (§ 46:2B-8.9).

Laws – Title 46, Section 2B (Revised Durable Power of Attorney Act)
