What a general POA covers
A general POA gives your attorney broad authority across many matters, such as banking, government services and routine contracts. It is useful when you need someone to manage your affairs over a longer period.
When a specific POA is better
A specific POA is limited to one clearly described task, such as selling a named property or a particular vehicle. Many authorities, especially property registries, prefer this because the scope is easy to check.
How to choose
Start with the task and the authority involved. If one authority will receive the document for one transaction, a specific POA is usually the safer choice. We can review your situation and recommend the right wording.
