Hello forum members, I'm looking for some general information about power of attorney. Can anyone explain the different types of power of attorney that exist and what they are typically used for?

That's really a question of civil law. I strongly suggest you find an attorney or legal aid society who will be better able to assist you.

If it is something you need for a loved one, you do not want to ask anyone other than a professional, ideally one who specializes in that area.

If you are simply curious, internet reference sources will be a better source than here.

If you’re asking about the United States (you registered from the United Arab Emirates) there are likely 50+ different answers.

Most civil attorneys will do a free initial consultation, I strongly suggest you take advantage of that.

At this moment I`m living in USA and asking about for USA. But thanks

A "power of attorney" can have thousands of different versions. In short it is an authorization for a person to make legally binding decisions on your behalf. Some are more formal/standardized like for medical decision making, while others are less structured, think real estate closings. In general, they all have to specific who you are requesting to act on your behalf, what you are authorizing them to do and how long the authorization will last. The ins and outs are controlled by the law of the individual states in most cases so the best bet is to reach out to a local legal referral service, the state bar association website should have something to point you in the right direction.

Thank you all for the information provided. In turn, I also found information.
