People often associate powers of attorney with financial matters. However, there are many more uses for powers of attorney than most think. A power of attorney is simply a written authorization that allows one person to act on the behalf of another. Powers of attorney are most often used when a person is ill or incapacitated, or when they simply cannot handle everything on their own. It can be used for a wide range of things such as:
- making sure bills are paid

- transferring an interest in real estate
- making medical decisions on another’s behalf
