What Is a Power of Attorney for Property?

The Illinois Statutory Power of Attorney for Property is a legal document that allows you to designate another person to act on your behalf and sign your name for all contract, financial, and property issues. With this legal document in your estate plan, you can feel confident that your financial decisions are handled properly if you can't handle them on your own.

The person you give power of attorney to is called the agent. You can give your agent the right to make all of your financial and property decisions, or you can select certain roles for them to handle. The effective date, duration, and type of property for the power can also be limited.

The statutory nature of the power protects the individual acting on your behalf from personal liability for decisions they make on your behalf.

The person you designate under your Power of Attorney can make the following decisions on your behalf:

• Buy and sell real estate
• Pay your bills
• Manage your financial affairs
• Access your bank accounts
• Control safe deposit boxes
• File income tax returns and handle tax matters
• Handle stocks and bonds
• Make important estate planning decisions
• Contribute to or withdraw from a retirement plan
• Borrow money and mortgage property
