General Power of Attorney
What Is a General POA?
This type of POA is often used when someone needs assistance managing their affairs temporarily — such as during extended travel, illness, or military deployment. It provides peace of mind knowing that someone trusted is legally empowered to handle urgent matters while you cannot.
In Arizona, a General POA must be signed before a notary public to be valid. While witnesses are not always legally required, having them adds an additional layer of protection against future legal challenges. Our team ensures every document is prepared to the highest standard.
It’s important to choose your agent carefully. This person will have significant legal authority over your finances and property. We recommend selecting someone who is not only trustworthy but also organized, reliable, and willing to act in your best interests at all times.
What Your Agent Can Do
When Does It End?
A General POA terminates automatically upon your death, upon your incapacity (unless made durable), upon the expiration date you specify, or upon written revocation at any time.
You can revoke a General POA at any time, as long as you are mentally competent. Our team can assist with revocation documents to ensure the cancellation is legally recognized.
