A Florida Attorney in Fact Affidavit- Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document used to grant an individual (the "principal") the authority to appoint an individual (the "attorney-in-fact") to represent them in legal matters. The attorney-in-fact is authorized to make decisions and take actions on behalf of the principal, and the appointment is legally binding. This document is especially useful for elderly individuals who may need assistance in managing their affairs or for individuals who may be incapacitated or unable to make decisions for themselves. There are three types of Florida Attorney in Fact Affidavit- Durable Power of Attorney: General Durable Power of Attorney, Special Durable Power of Attorney, and Springing Durable Power of Attorney. A General Durable Power of Attorney gives the attorney-in-fact wide-ranging powers to act on behalf of the principal, while a Special Durable Power of Attorney limits the powers to specific matters. A Springing Durable Power of Attorney allows the attorney-in-fact to act only upon the occurrence of a certain event, such as the principal becoming incapacitated.
