Some Definitions:
Statutory declaration is a written document of facts written down and attested to by the declarant before a notary public or oath commissioner.
All the adults traveling outside the country with children below 18 years who are not their own, or if children traveling abroad alone, with a guardian, with friends or relatives require a travel consent letter. The consent letter must state that the person with whom he/she is traveling is/are their guardians (s).
A power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone you trust the right to make financial or health care decisions for you. This trusted person does not have to be a lawyer to be your attorney.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF POWER OF ATTORNEYS
There are four kinds of Power of Attorney:
- A Continuing Power of Attorney for Property (CPOA) covers your financial affairs and allows the person you name to act for you even if you become mentally incapable. In other words a Continuing Power of Attorney activates before you are incapable and continue to act through your incapacity. A CPOA becomes enforceable as soon as it is signed and witnessed, unless you state in the document that you want it to take effect at a future date. The CPOA ends in any of the following circumstances:
- Immediately after you cancel or revoke the Power of Attorney while you are still mentally capable;
- Immediately after you sign a new Continuing Power of Attorney for Property, unless the new one says that you want more than one Continuing Power of Attorney for Property;
- Immediately after your death;
- Immediately after your attorney dies, becomes mentally incapable, or resigns, unless you named more than one attorney or you named a substitute;
- when a court appoints a Guardian of Property for you.
- A non-continuing Power of Attorney for Property or General Power of Attorney covers your financial affairs but can’t be used if you become mentally incapable. If you become mentally incapableof managing your property, the General Power of Attorney for Property ends and your attorney can no longer act for you. You might give this Power of Attorney, for example, if you need someone to look after your financial transactions while you’re away from home for an extended period of time.
- A Power of Attorney for Personal Care (POAPC) covers your personal decisions, such as housing and health care.
- Special Power of Attorney (SPOA): The SPOA allows someone to act on your behalf only in specific situations. It is also referred as Limited Power of Attorney. This kind of Power of Attorney must be clear on the special power to act because the attorney(s) are limited to act for the specific property or subject matter. For example, a real estate agent who signs your closing paperwork for you can be assigned a Special Power of Attorney to act on a specific property on your behalf.
- Springing Power of Attorney: As the name clearly states, a Springing Power of Attorney springs up upon a certain time or event. The Springing Power of Attorney is made to assign attorneys to act on behalf of grantor when the grantor becomes mentally incapacitated of taking decisions on his own. In other words, a Springing Power of Attorney is enforceable only after the grantor is declared mentally incapable
Notes:
- You can appoint more than one attorney. In this case all your attorneys will have to agree before a decision can be made on your behalf, unless you state in the document that they can act “jointly and severally”, which means that in the absence of one attorney, other attorney(s) can make decisions on your property or health matters independently.
- You can also appoint substitute attorney(s) along with the first attorney(s). The Substitute Attorney(s) can act for you if your first attorney(s) are not willing or not able to act when the time comes. The substitute attorney will have the same powers as the original attorneys.
- The Power of Attorney document must be signed, notarized, and witnessed to make it legally valid. It must be witnessed by two individuals.
- The following people cannotbe witnesses:
- your spouse, partner, child, or someone you treat as your child,
- your attorney or your attorney’s spouse or partner,
- anyone under the age of 18,
- anyone who has a “Guardian of Property” appointed for them by a court because they are not mentally capable of managing their property,
- anyone who has a “Guardian of the Person” appointed for them by a court because they are not mentally capable of making their own personal care decisions.
- All kinds of power of attorneys can be cancelled by the grantor if the grantor is mentally capable and in a state of mind to cancel it voluntarily.
