The Florida Power of Attorney Act

5/4/2017

10 Comments

 
Power of Attorney
The Florida Power of Attorney Act is described...
The Florida Power of Attorney Act is described in Florida Statutes chapter 709. This document is signed by a “principal” who appoints an “agent”. The “agent” is granted authority in place of the principal as described and explained under the power of attorney document.

Durable power of attorney means that a Power of Attorney is not terminated by the principal’s incapacity.

We recommend that the durable power of attorney be used in two ways, first to manage financial assets and pay bills, and second, make personal health care and medical decisions.


If the principal who signs the Durable Power of Attorney chooses a person as an agent who will serve both as financial, health care, and personal decision manager these provisions may be included in one document. If a decision manager for financial and management decisions is different than the decision maker to handle personal and medical decisions then two separate documents would be necessary.

A durable power of attorney is revoked on principal's death, revocation of power by the Principal, or when a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicates the agent's authority partially or totally terminated.

Depending on your specific needs, the type of Florida power of attorney you create will vary. The authority you give to your agent may be general in nature or very specific. In Florida you can create the following powers of attorneys:

It is, and the provisions of Power of Attorney Act, then, one will have no doubt that even State will have no authority to bring in amendment which is repugnant to provision, I truly appreciate your great post!
