Introduction

A power of attorney is a document that empowers someone you trust to legally act on your behalf before government bodies and other institutions. 

However, a poorly drafted power of attorney could face rejection or expose you to risks. 

At Presto, we produce hundreds of power of attorney documents annually, boasting a stellar track record for quality and dependability. 

So, how do we do it? 

In this blog post, we’ll unveil our secret formula for crafting the “perfect” power of attorney that won’t fail you and won’t compromise your assets.

1. Matching the POA to Its Purpose

Every power of attorney serves a specific purpose or transaction. We ensure that the type of power of attorney you receive aligns with its intended usage.

2. Determining Which Powers to Include

Granting all powers to your agent may seem convenient, but it exposes you to unnecessary risks. We carefully assess your needs and advise you on granting sufficient power for the intended purpose without compromising its usage.

3. Understanding the Risks

Regardless of precautions, your agent wields the power of attorney on your behalf. We explain the ramifications of the power of attorney so you can make informed decisions about which powers to grant.

4. Drafting with the Entity in Mind

Different entities, such as licensing authorities and land departments, have specific requirements for power of attorney. We tailor our drafts to meet these requirements, ensuring they won’t be rejected.

5. Staying Up to Date with Laws

Laws and regulations evolve, and outdated references could render your power of attorney useless. We stay abreast of these changes to ensure your draft remains current and valid.

6. Avoiding Notary Public Rejections

Having worked closely with notary publics for over a decade, we understand their preferences. We eliminate ambiguous or risky clauses to prevent rejection, or we collaborate with you and the notary public to find a satisfactory compromise.
