Texas power of attorney forms allow a person to grant another individual the right to make decisions and act on their behalf. The person handing over power is called the “principal” and the individual being appointed is called the “agent” or “attorney-in-fact.” There are many types of powers of attorney each geared to the principal’s needs. Some powers of attorney allow a person to transfer their financial powers while others authorize someone else to make medical decisions on their behalf.
