Georgia power of attorney forms allow a person (“principal”) to grant certain powers to a trusted agent, also referred to as an “attorney-in-fact.” Regardless of whether the agent will have control over the principal’s finances, health care, real estate, or taxes, the principal should always try to select a trustworthy individual. Each power of attorney form has a different length of validity depending on the scope of the agent’s powers and the area of the principal’s life they are managing. There are also slight variations in the way each document must be executed in order to be legally binding upon the parties.
