of attorney (POA) or letter of attorney is a written authorization to
represent or act on another's behalf in private affairs, business, or some
other legal matter, sometimes against the wishes of the other's. The person
authorizing the other to act is the principal, grantor, or donor (of the power). The one authorized to
act is the agent[1] or, in
some common law jurisdictions, theattorney-in-fact (attorney for short). Formerly, a power referred
to an instrument under seal while a letter
was an instrument under hand, but today both are signed by the grantor, and
therefore there is no difference between the two.
