You can give your agent, known as the "attorney-in-fact," as many or as few powers you choose. Specifically, a power of attorney might authorize your agent to do any or all of the following on your behalf:

Pay for support and care
Borrow money
Conduct banking transactions
Deal with property
Handle legal claims
Gain entry to safety deposit boxes
Deal with insurance and retirement benefits
Prepare and file tax returns
Exercise stock holder rights
Contract for services
Make gifts
Collect social security benefits
Or any other task you require.

LegalZoom’s power of attorney lets you specify which powers you want to give to your agent, when it takes effect and even allows you to provide customized special powers.
