The purpose of this power of attorney is to give the
person you designate (your "agent") broad powers to handle
your property, which may include powers to sell or otherwise
dispose of any real or personal property without advance
notice to you or approval by you.
This power of attorney does not impose a duty on your
agent to exercise granted powers, but, when powers are
exercised, your agent must use due care to act for your
benefit and in accordance with this power of attorney.
Your agent may exercise the powers given here throughout
your lifetime, even after you become incapacitated, unless
you expressly limit the duration of these powers or you
revoke these powers or a court acting on your behalf
terminates your agent's authority.
Your agent must act in accordance with your reasonable
expectations to the extent actually known by your agent and,
otherwise, in your best interest, act in good faith and act
only within the scope of authority granted by you in the
power of attorney.
The law permits you, if you choose, to grant broad
authority to an agent under power of attorney, including the
ability to give away all of your property while you are alive
or to substantially change how your property is distributed
at your death. Before signing this document, you should seek
the advice of an attorney at law to make sure you understand
it.
A court can take away the powers of your agent if it
finds your agent is not acting properly.
If you believe that you are a victim of financial abuse
by your agent and you are a senior citizen, you may call the
