AGENT:

A person who is authorized to act on behalf of another. A corporation acts only through its agents, whether they are directors, employees, or officers.

Power of Attorney:

A written document signed By a person giving another person the power to act in conducting the signer's business, including signing papers, checks, title documents, contracts, handling bank accounts and other activities in the name of the person granting the power. The person receiving the power of attorney (the agent) is "attorney in fact" for the person giving the power, and usually signs documents as "Melinda Hubbard, attorney in fact for Guilda Giver." There are two types of power of attorney: a) general power of attorney, which covers all activities, and b) special power of attorney, which grants powers limited to specific matters, such as selling a particular piece of real estate, handling some bank accounts or executing a limited partnership agreement. A power of attorney may expire on a date stated in the document or upon written cancellation. Usually the signer acknowledges before a notary public that he/she executed the power, so that it is recordable if necessary, as in a real estate transaction.

Simply speaking a Power of Attorney is a written document stating that one person gives to another the full power and authority to represent him or her. The person who gives the power is the principal, and the person who receives the power is the attorney-in-fact or agent. A Power of Attorney must be signed By both the agent and the principal, witnessed By two people (not required in the State of Washington) and notarized.

There are many ways to designate a decision-maker for you with a Power of Attorney document. You can assign a General Power of Attorney that covers all of your legal, financial and personal decisions except those pertaining to your medical care and treatment, or a Limited Power of Attorney that only covers decision-making in areas that you specify. You can have your Power of Attorney made immediately effective, which means that the agent has the power to represent you now. If you also make the Power of Attorney Durable, the agent's power to represent you will remain in effect in the event you become mentally unable to make decisions on your own (incompetent). Or, you can make it Springing, which means that it becomes effective only in the event you become incompetent.

A very popular use of the Power of Attorney has absolutely nothing to do with mental incompetence. Many military people and overseas contractors prepare Powers of Attorney that are immediately effective, so their wives, husbands or other family members in the United States can deposit paychecks, make purchases, pay bills and otherwise represent them financially or legally while they are away or otherwise not available to handle these matters themselves.

Power of Attorney for Healthcare:

A Power of Attorney is a written document stating that one person gives to another the full power and authority to make healthcare decisions for that one person when he or she is unable to. The person who gives the power is the principal, and the person who receives the power is the attorney-in-fact or agent. A Power of Attorney must be signed By both the agent and the principal, witnessed By two people (not required in the State of Washington) and notarized.
