If the individual providing the powers, or holder, is unable or not available to act when needed, California power of attorney documents can be utilized to award certain powers to a trustworthy companion or family. The representative, or the individual acting for the holder, is supposed to make every choice in the holder's best interests. The form might grant vast or limited authority. Also, it can be tailored to be in effect for a lengthy or minimum amount of time.
Advance Health Care Directive - An advance health care directive in California permits a person to appoint a representative to make medical choices for them and to choose end-of-life administration choices. A living will and a medical power of attorney are combined in an advance directive. It is suggested that the aged and those wanting high-risk medical ministrations complete it.
Durable (Statutory) Power of Attorney - A durable power of attorney in California permits a person to act for another person for financial matters over their lifespan. The holder delegates these powers to a representative, who is a trustworthy companion or family. The representative can only do what the holder says, and the representative has a fiduciary duty to act in the holder's best interests. It's worth noting that because it's "durable," the delegate's powers remain in effect even if the holder becomes debilitated.
General Power of Attorney - A general power of attorney (GPOA) in California is a document that allows an individual to act on behalf of someone else in financial matters. This sort of power of attorney is non-durable, meaning it only works when the holder is alive and not debilitated (such as by dementia or Alzheimer's disease).
Limited Power of Attorney - The California Limited Power of Attorney Form is a legal document that gives a representative control (or "power") over an individual's real estate and private assets for a set length of time and/or event. The authorized powers cover the transaction, and/or maintenance of real and private assets. The individual granting authorization to act must restrict the power to the specific acts and time wanted.
Child (Minor) Power of Attorney - Parents can utilize the California Parental (Minor Children) Power of Attorney Form to appoint a trustworthy individual as their ward's brief custodian, allowing them to make health-care, educational, and other choices for them. This document is useful if the parents plan on traveling away without their wards and want to ensure that a person they can rely on is in control and licensed to make choices when the need arises. A revocation area and a part where the parent can identify any specific requirements or concerns for each kid are also included in this document.
Real Estate Power of Attorney - The California Real Estate Power of Attorney Form is a document that is commonly utilized to appoint a competent real estate lawyer, real estate manager, or other capable people to manage a real estate sale and purchase for someone else after an understanding has been reached and agreed to by the holder. A holder may also utilize this agreement to authorize the above-named representative (s) to refinance the assets on their behalf.
Power of Attorney Revocation Form - The California Revocation of Power of Attorney Form is a legal document that is utilized when someone who has previously issued a power of attorney wishes to annul or rescind it. The person, or holder, has to have the revocation witnessed by a notary for it to be properly notarized. After this template has been completed, signed, and authenticated, ensure that all organizations that may have acted or are inclined to act on the prototype are aware that it has been canceled.
Motor/Vehicle Power of Attorney (REG 260) - The California Vehicle Power of Attorney Form can be used to designate a delegate to represent you in Division of Motor Vehicles transactions, such as title transfers. This paperwork has to be authenticated with the automobile's holder for it to be effective.
