In Arizona, a power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows an individual to appoint someone else (known as an agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions on their behalf. This can include financial and healthcare decisions, and the appointed individual has the legal authority to act on the person's behalf.

Why Should I Have a Power of Attorney?

Although you might be in perfect health now, life is never certain. Should you suffer an accident or illness that causes you to lose the capacity to make decisions, you need someone who can take on the responsibility to make decisions for you. That person is your legally appointed agent. A power of attorney empowers you to appoint someone to be your legal advocate when you no longer can advocate for yourself. Make sure you’re covered should something happen that puts you in a vulnerable position.

Different Types of Powers of Attorney

There are several types of powers of attorney in Arizona, including general, limited, durable, and springing.

  • A general POA gives broad powers to the agent and is typically used for a specific period of time or for a specific transaction.
  • A limited POA, on the other hand, only gives the agent authority for certain actions or within a specified timeframe.
  • A durable POA remains in effect even if the person becomes incapacitated.
  • A springing POA only goes into effect once the person is deemed incapacitated.


It's important to carefully consider which type of POA best suits your needs and to consult with an attorney if needed. Our team at McCain & Bursh Attorneys At Law, P.C. have years of experience in estate planning and can provide you with expert advice tailored to your specific needs.
