A power of attorney (POA) (also known as letter of attorney) is a written legal document wherein authorization is given to represent or to act on behalf of an individual or an organisation for a specific purpose or broad purposes.
The person authorizing the other to act is called as the 'principal' or 'grantor' or 'donor'. The one authorized to act is known as the 'agent' or 'attorney' or 'attorney-in-fact'.
