General power of attorney allows for the same rights for an agent as the durable, which is to act in the Principal’s best interest for any financial matter legal within the State. Except that the general form does not remain valid if the Principal should become in a state of mind where he or she can no longer think for themselves. For this reason this document is popular with business partners and attorneys, where as long as the Principal may be thinking compently and an oversee their Agent’s actions, the form is valid.
The general form must be signed with at least two (2) witnesses in attendance to be pursuant with the Florida State laws.
