Have you ever thought of what would happen to you and your business in case you ever became incapacitated? Granted that most of us don’t want to think of such eventualities, such things happen and it’s better to be prepared.

A power of attorney is a legal document that gives one person, known as an agent, the power to act on behalf of another, known as the principal. There are various Powers of Attorney:
