WHAT DOES A POWER OF ATTORNEY MEAN?
A Power of Attorney (also known as a POA) is a
formal, legally enforceable document that gives
a designated person the power to act on behalf
of another. The agent's decision-making, which
may be given extensive or limited authority, may
affect the principal's assets, money,
investments, and medical treatment. The Powers of
Attorney Act of 1882 regulates powers of
attorney (PoAs).

  needs to be printed on the document. Step 2
  Have it printed out on stamp paper online. Select
  the stamp paper, which comes in denominations of

  is required. For offline mode, you can go to any
  nearby sub-registrar office, and for online mode,
  you can search through reliable websites that

  that must be taken after establishing POA. When
  filing a power of attorney for property to the
  court, it must be notarized.
