2. Definition of a Power of Attorney

A power of attorney is a legal document that allows you to assign someone to make financial decisions on your behalf. The person designated to make these decisions is called an "attorney-in-fact." This appointment can take effect immediately or it can be designed to take effect if you are unable to make those decisions on your own.
