Tennessee power of attorney forms are used to grant authority to a representative to act on behalf of the document’s creator. The representative is referred to as either “the agent” or “the attorney-in-fact,” whereas the individual drafting the power of attorney is referred to therein as “the principal.” The document will define the scope of authority within which the agent can operate, while legally granting them the power to do so. Whether it is created for the management of finances, the oversight of medical treatments, the filing of income tax, or the sale of property, the agent named in the form is obligated to perform their duties in accordance with the principal’s wishes and best interest.
