An Idaho power of attorney provides a way for one person to allow another entity to legally act in their place with their resources. The paperwork here can take many forms and be used for many types of situations from discreet/limited transactions to everyday long-term representation. What they have in common is a principal, the person conferring the authority, and the agent, the person acting on behalf of the principal. It is strongly recommended that all parties have a frank discussion regarding the powers and the responsibilities defined by this paperwork before it is filled out and executed.
