Powers of Attorney

Powers of attorney allow someone else to sign documents and make decisions on your behalf. Perhaps you are a business owner who is going out of town and want someone else to handle certain business transactions while you are gone. Or perhaps you are going to have surgery and you want a power of attorney to be in effect only if there are complications and you become incapacitated. These are the kinds of circumstances in which you would use a power of attorney.

Real Estate Power of Attorney
With a real estate power of attorney form you can designate an agent to sell, buy, and sign documents concerning your property.

Limited Power of Attorney
A limited power of attorney lets another person control a specific activity for you that you describe in the document. You can revoke this power of attorney at any time or have it expire automatically when the situation is over.

Statutory Power of Attorney
If you are going to be away from your business for a period of time – in the hospital, on extended leave – you may consider the statutory power of attorney. Created by the Colorado legislature, this form offers a handy checklist that allows you to indicate which specific types of controls you will give to another person.
