A General Power of Attorney document authorizes an individual (Agent or attorney-in-fact) to act on another's (Grantor or Principal) behalf in legal, financial, and business matters. This legal form can be used to handle general everyday needs or be limited for a specific function. As an example, a Power of Attorney form can be utilized when an individual can not personally handle a specific business or legal matter and wants to authorize another person to manage the matter on his or her behalf. Furthermore, a Power of Attorney can also be useful when a person is not able to make decisions due to mental or physical incapacities. This particular document takes immediate effect and remains effective until the Grantor dies or becomes incapacitated or disabled.

The word "attorney" is not used here to mean "lawyer". The person acting as the Attorney-In-Fact for the Principal does not need to be a lawyer. Almost anyone can be appointed an Attorney-In-Fact by a power of attorney. A Power of Attorney can always be revoked.
