A Powers of Attorney (POA) is an estate planning tool in Washington, where you appoint a person, known as the agent or attorney-in-fact, to manage your affairs. An agent is commonly appointed to handle financial or medical matters, when you are unable to do so yourself, due to illness or injury. However, it can also be used by individuals in full health who wish to delegate authority to another person, for added convenience or assistance in managing their affairs.
