A Financial Power Of Attorney refers to a specific form of Power Of Attorney that gives a person the authority to act on behalf of a grantor or principal in matters relating to finances. There is an Official Financial POA in many states, and these are used by those who need someone to handle their bank account, stocks, securities etc when they are disabled enough to be unable to take their own financial decisions.

Working of the Financial POA
Once a Financial POA is executed, the agent is offered the original copy of the document. Then, he might give it to a 3rd party in the form of evidence to show that your chosen agent is authorized to act on your behalf – such as for signing real estate closure papers, withdrawal of money from bank account etc.
Time of Coming into Effect
A Financial POA can immediately come into effect, based on how you word it, or when some future event occurs – such as your incapacitation. In case the POA gets immediately effective your appointed agent many work for you and represent you even when you are not incapacitated or not available.
Time of Ending
The authority bestowed by a POA ends always when the principal dies. There can also be an end of authority in case the principal gets incapacitated, unless there is provision in the POA to continue authority even after the principal’s incapacitation. It is a Durable POA in case the authority lasts even after incapacity.
