Power of Attorney Draft

Generate a General Power of Attorney wording draft — names a Principal and an Attorney, lists the powers being granted, and includes a sound-mind declaration with two witness lines. IMPORTANT: this produces DRAFT WORDING ONLY — a Power of Attorney grants someone else legal authority to act as you, and in virtually every jurisdiction it only becomes legally effective after proper witnessing, notarization, and often registration, none of which this tool can do. Do not treat the generated text alone as a valid, executable POA — you must complete your jurisdiction's formal execution process.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. This is one of the highest-stakes documents on this site — it grants another person legal authority to act on your behalf. A plain printed draft, however well-worded, is NOT a valid, executable POA on its own in most jurisdictions. You must complete formal execution: proper signing before the required witnesses, notarization, and in many places registration with the relevant authority (e.g. a sub-registrar in India). Skipping this makes the document unenforceable regardless of wording.

The wording only — principal and attorney details, the specific powers you list, a sound-mind declaration, and two witness signature lines. It does not perform, arrange, or substitute for notarization or registration.

Yes — vague or overly broad powers are more likely to be challenged or misused. List the specific authority you're granting (e.g. 'manage and deal with property at [address]', 'execute documents on my behalf') rather than relying only on generic language.

Strongly recommended — a lawyer can confirm your jurisdiction's exact execution requirements (witnesses, notary, registration) and make sure the scope of powers matches what you actually intend to grant. This is not a document to get wrong.
