Power of Attorney

 

A Florida power of attorney allows you to designate a person, known as your agent or attorney-in-fact, to act on your behalf with regard to designated matters.  Typically, the power grants a trusted individual authority to deal with your property, such as allowing a withdrawal from a specific bank account for the payment of bills.  A power of attorney does not take away your right to handle your own affairs.  Rather, it gives authority to another to handle your affairs in addition to you.
