Power of Attorney: Frequently Asked Questions

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you (the principal) to appoint another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to act on your behalf in financial, medical, or other legal matters. This can be useful if you become unable to manage your affairs due to illness, disability, or absence.

  1. General Power of Attorney: Grants broad powers to the agent to handle your financial and legal matters.
  2. Limited (Special) Power of Attorney: Grants specific powers to the agent for particular tasks or for a limited period.
  3. Durable Power of Attorney: Remains in effect if you become incapacitated.
  4. Medical Power of Attorney: Allows the agent to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.
  5. Springing Power of Attorney: Becomes effective only under specified conditions, typically upon your incapacity.

A Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) remains in effect even if the principal becomes mentally or physically incapacitated. This ensures that the agent can continue to manage the principal’s affairs without interruption.

To create a Power of Attorney in Texas:

  1. Choose an Agent: Select a trusted person to act on your behalf.
  2. Draft the Document: You can use a template or have an attorney draft the document.
  3. Sign the Document: Sign the POA in the presence of a notary public.
  4. Notarize: Have the document notarized to make it legally binding.

Yes, you can revoke a Power of Attorney at any time as long as you are mentally competent. To revoke a POA, you should notify your agent in writing and inform any institutions or individuals who may have been relying on the POA.

An agent has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the principal. This includes managing the principal’s affairs responsibly, keeping accurate records, and avoiding conflicts of interest. The agent must follow the instructions outlined in the POA document.

A Power of Attorney cannot authorize actions that the principal could not legally take themselves. Additionally, an agent cannot make decisions that contradict the principal’s will or trust. Some powers, such as creating or revoking a will, cannot be granted through a POA.

In Texas, a Power of Attorney does not need to be filed with the court to be valid. However, it may need to be recorded with the county clerk if it involves real estate transactions.

If you become incapacitated without a Power of Attorney, your family may need to go through a lengthy and expensive court process to appoint a guardian or conservator to manage your affairs. Having a POA in place can prevent this scenario and ensure your wishes are followed.

A Power of Attorney lasts until it is revoked, the principal dies, the principal becomes incapacitated (unless it is a Durable Power of Attorney), or a specified expiration date is reached. A Medical Power of Attorney typically remains in effect until the principal’s medical condition improves or they pass away.

Yes, you can name more than one person as agent in your Power of Attorney. You can specify whether they must act jointly or if each can act independently. Naming multiple agents can provide checks and balances but may also lead to conflicts.
