A Power of Attorney allows a person to grant another person the right to make decisions regarding the person's assets, finances and real estate properties. There are two types of power of attorney. First, the 'General Power of Attorney'where a property owner confers 'general' rights. The rights include but are not limited to sell, lease, sub-lease etc. Second, is the 'Special Power of Attorney'wherein only a specific right is given by the owner to the chosen person.
