Creating a GPOA typically involves the following steps: 1. Consult an Attorney: Seek legal advice to understand the implications and ensure the document meets all legal requirements. 2. Draft the Document: Clearly outline the powers being granted and any limitations. 3. Sign the Document: The principal must sign the document, often in the presence of a notary public or witnesses. 4. Distribute Copies: Provide copies to the agent, any relevant institutions, and keep a copy for personal records.
