Naming a power of attorney can be tricky, especially when you do not know who to give that authority to. The list of individuals you can name as a power of attorney is as follows;

• A competent adult
• A professional, e.g an attorney, a banker, or an accountant
• A family member e.g. your spouse, your adult child, or a different relative.

Remember, when you opt for a family member as your power of attorney, you get rid of charges you may encounter when you name a professional. Importantly, whoever you choose to name as your power of attorney should be trustworthy and responsible.
