General Power of Attorney (PoA)
Use this general power of attorney to delegate authority to someone else to act on your behalf, usually for a short and specified period of time. You may be abroad but need someone to look after your financial and legal affairs at home for you (such as buying or selling property), or you may need someone to help with a specific task (such as collecting a pension) or you may just prefer someone more expert in a certain subject area (such as law) to act on your behalf in a certain matter.
