Georgia General (Financial) Power of Attorney

A Georgia general power of attorney (GPOA) allows a person to grant legal authority to another to handle their financial and business affairs. A GPOA is only valid for use while the principal is coherent and able to think for themselves. If the principal becomes incapacitated or dies, a GPOA automatically terminates.
