Vermont power of attorney forms can be used in a multitude of circumstances wherein a resident needs another party to act on their behalf. For instance, an advance directive can be used by someone who wishes to spell out their end of life treatment preferences and select the trusted family member to ensure that their specifications are honored. Another example could be an investor employing a general power of attorney to hire a professional to buy and sell stocks on their behalf. Regardless of the type of authority granted to the representative (called an agent or attorney-in-fact), the selected individual will be required to operate within the parameters of the power of attorney document.
