How do You Get Power of Attorney?

Getting power of attorney is one of the easiest things to get on the web.

STEP 1 -  Try to get a Free Power of Attorney Form or get an Official Power of Attorney Form that you may have to pay a small fee.

STEP 2 - Decide which type of Power of Attorney Form best suits your needs. There are four major power of attorney forms;
  • Durable Power of Attorney - Durable Power of Attorney grants power from one person ("Principal") to another ("Attorney-in-Fact" or "Agent") for all powers legal under law. Durable Power of Attorney is VALID if the principal should become incapacitated or not able to speak for himself
  • Medical Power of Attorney - Medical Power of Attorney grants power from one person ("Principal") to another ("Attorney-in-Fact" or "Agent") for all medical care decisions in the event the principal is incapacitated or not able to speak for himself. Medical Power of Attorney is for medical decisions ONLY.
  • General Power of Attorney - General Power of Attorney grants power from one person ("Principal") to another ("Attorney-in-Fact" or "Agent") for all powers legal under law. General Power of Attorney is VOID if the principal should become incapacitated or not able to speak for himself.
  • Limited Power of Attorney - Limited Power of Attorney grants power from one person ("Principal") to another ("Attorney-in-Fact" or "Agent") for a specific power legal under law. Limited Power of Attorney is still VOID if the principal should become incapacitated or not able to speak for himself. A common example of limited power of attorney is if the principal just so happened to be out of town for a real estate closing, then he could appoint someone in a limited power of attorney to stand in his shoes (and would be able to authorize all documents).
STEP 3 - Fill-Out your power of attorney form, if you got your power of attorney form from powerofattorneyform.com then you can watch helpful how-to videos (-VIDEO- How to Fill-Out Power of Attorney Forms) on exactly how to fill out your new power of attorney form.
