An Illinois general power of attorney is a legal document used by an individual (the principal) to give a third party (the agent) control and responsibility over their affairs, allowing them to act on the principal’s behalf. This document can apply to all financial, business, or property-related activities, and the exact scope of the agent’s power can be specified by the principal. A general power of attorney remains valid until it is revoked via written revocation document, the termination date is reached, or upon the incapacitation of the principal.
