The POA authorizes your agent to act on your behalf and to carry on your business in your absence. Acts performed by the agent and authorized by the Power of Attorney are legally binding on you. Since a POA is such a powerful document, it should be given only to a trustworthy person, and only when absolutely necessary.

The laws for PoA forms vary by state; however, in Arkansas, your Power of Attorney must be signed by a notary public. If your agent will engage in real estate transactions, the Power of Attorney will need to be signed before a notary public and recorded or filed with your county.

Public defenders are requested and appointed by your Judge during arraignment. The Judge determines if you are eligible for a public defender based on your current financial situation. The Office of the Public Defender is not permitted by law to provide legal advice until officially appointed.

Power of Attorney Introduction The power can be specific to a certain task or cover many duties, including financial and medical. The power can start immediately or only after some event occurs, such as if you become mentally incompetent. A power of attorney does not take away your right to act on your own behalf.

The Arkansas Constitution mandates that the state shall never be made a defendant. However, plaintiffs can bring claims before the Arkansas State Claims Commission, an arm of the General Assembly. Political subdivisions are immune except to the extent they are covered by liability insurance.
