To choose an attorney-in-fact, you must consider your options carefully. Aside from your personal preferences, there are also legal requirements for who you select.
Your attorney-in-fact may not:
Be under the age of majority in your state
Currently be in a state of bankruptcy
Be the owner or employee of a care home where the principal resides or receives treatment
You can name more than one attorney-in-fact if you believe that different people will better handle certain decisions or transactions.
You may also name a fiduciary, such as an accountant, lawyer, or other professional as your attorney-in-fact if you wish.
