Attorney Summary

This article is about a United States legal notion. For a general description of the Common Law concept, see Legal professional privilege (Common Law). For legal professional privilege in England & Wales, see Legal professional privilege (England & Wales).  

The power of attorney gives your "agent," the person acting on your behalf, broad authority over your finances with little or no monitoring, according to AARP, the advocacy group for those 50 and older.  

Each state may provide different rules or protocols regarding Power of Attorney, so the following discussion should be interpreted broadly and any specific questions regarding Power of Attorney should be directed to an attorney licensed in the state where the Power of Attorney is to be held.  

In the United States, not all state courts treat attorney communications as privileged.  

The report urged state lawmakers to adopt the Uniform Power of Attorney Act (UPOAA) to strengthen protections for people who designate their powers of attorney. The measure also would make those who violate their fiduciary responsibility liable for damages. 

In contrast, California state law protects the attorney's confidential communications pertaining only to the subject of communications in direct relation to a pending legal proceeding. 

A general power of attorney is very broad and provides extensive powers to the person or organization you appoint as your agent.  

Your special power of attorney must state that you specifically authorize your attorney-in-fact to enter into a sales contract on your behalf and should state that he or she is empowered to sell only that specific property.  

If your attorney-in-fact is acting as a buyer for you, the power of attorney should state that he is authorized and directed to comply with the state recording statutes by promptly recording the deed after purchase in the court clerk's office in the county where property is located.

For example, you could authorize someone to sell a car or a house for you.  

A special power of attorney is often used to allow your Agent to handle specific situations for you when you are unavailable or unable to do so. For example, you may be traveling outside the state or country, or you may be unable to handle a specific situation because of other commitments, or health reasons.  

Finding a disability attorney is not a difficult task at all. There are many disability attorney firms in each city of the United States.  

The disability attorney also fulfills various requirements regarding the disability adjudication process, which a person find many tough to do, if he decides to fight the case himself.  

It's widely understood that a fair trial requires competent legal representation. One wonders, therefore, whether it's possible for marriage to get a fair trial when those charged by law with defending it act as they have been doing in these cases.  

A Power of Attorney is an arrangement where authority is given by a donor to an attorney to deal with the property of the donor. The person giving the authority is called a donor, principal or grantor. The person receiving the authority is called the attorney, donee or agent.
