Abstract

This booklet is designed to assist those who have been appointed as an attorney-in-fact, those who are considering the need for a power of attorney, or those who have an interest in the subject. This is a general overview of the laws governing powers of attorney and, like most general overviews it will apply in most situations, but not all. Small differences and individual circumstances can be very important in resolving legal problems and the general guidance provided by this booklet cannot take such differences into account. Keep in mind that the laws continually change and information in this booklet is not designed to take the place of legal counsel.
