POWERS of ATTORNEY With a little planning, most people can usually manage their own affairs. However, there are times when you need someone to act as an agent in your absence to run a particular business. When you ask someone to act on your behalf, do so by giving them your power of attorney. A power of attorney is a legal document that allows someone else to take legal action on your behalf (such as the sale of a home) and can be specific (usually associated with a one-time transaction or event) or general (total power over someone else`s legal affairs). Special powers of attorney that are tailored to individual needs once or for a limited period of time are usually the best choice. The legal department is ready to draft both.
