When you create and sign a power of attorney, you give another person legal authority to act on your behalf. This person is called your attorney-in-fact, donee or agent. The word “attorney” here means anyone authorized to act on another’s behalf. It is not restricted to lawyers. A general power of attorney (springing) becomes valid when you become incapacitated or unable to handle your own affairs.
