Governing Law A Power of Attorney is normally governed by the laws of the place where the power is intended to operate (e.g. the jurisdiction in which your attorney will be excercising his or her authority). If you intend the attorney's power to operate in more than one jurisdiction, you should probably create a separate document for each jurisdiction.

Attorney
 An Attorney is the person that you trust to take control of your assets and manage your finances in order to take care of you and your family. Your attorney does NOT need to be a lawyer, but does need to be of the age of majority and have capacity. It is best if it is someone that knows your wishes. A spouse is a good choice for attorney as long as your spouse would be able to deal with the powers you are providing them. The attorney should not be an undischarged bankrupt, convicted of a criminal offence, or a person whose business is to provide attorney services for a fee.
This is the person who will act on the donor's behalf.
