Michigan power of attorney forms allow an individual (the principal) to grant authority to another party (the “attorney-in-fact” or “agent”) to complete actions and make decisions on their behalf. The principal decides the scope of the powers of arrangement, which can be for a single transaction and terminate after its completion or to grant general financial powers to the agent and endure throughout the principal’s lifetime. Under state law, the agent is obligated to follow the principal’s instructions and cannot abuse their powers of attorney.
