What is POA :
In Pakistan, a Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorizes a specific individual, known as the “Attorney” or “Agent,” to act on behalf of another person, referred to as the “Principal,” in designated matters. The authority granted can range from broad to narrowly defined, based on the terms specified in the document. This arrangement is particularly beneficial when the Principal is unable to manage their affairs due to reasons such as absence, illness, or other circumstances.
