The Michigan Power of Attorney is a legal device that enables an agent to act in the place of the executor. The powers granted can relate to the principal’s finances, medical care, or parental authority depending on the type of document carried out. Each variation of the POA will demand that the issuing party indicate who is involved, which authorities will be conveyed, and how long the arrangement’s term will last. In order to legitimize the form, the principal will need to endorse it and receive the acknowledgment of witnesses and/or a notary subject to the class of document implemented.
