Download our Brochure: Durable Powers of Attorney

A power of attorney is a grant of authority to act for another person.

The person giving the power is called the “principal” and the person receiving is the “agent” or “attorney-in-fact.”

The power granted should be “durable”, which means it survives incapacity of the principal.

A power of attorney imposes a duty of ethical representation of the principal by the agent.
