What Is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorizes another person—called your “attorney”—to act on your behalf. In Canada, there are typically two types:

>Power of Attorney for Property

Allows someone to manage your financial affairs, including banking, investments, and real estate.

>Power of Attorney for Personal Care

Gives someone the authority to make healthcare and personal decisions if you’re unable to do so yourself.
