Designating a power of attorney gives an appointed person legal authority to make decisions about someone else's finances, property, or medical care. There are multiple types of power of attorney, including:

● General power of attorney

● Financial power of attorney

● Medical power of attorney

● Durable power of attorney

In each of these situations, the forms required to designate representatives must be signed and notarized. The designation of power of attorney must also occur before the person assigning it becomes unable to make decisions.
