Special Military Power of Attorney for Banking

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a document that bears your signature, and is prepared and witnessed by a military attorney or paralegal. This document allows a person of your choice to handle your personal affairs while you are away on military duty. Powers of Attorney come in two forms: a General POA or a Special POA. A Special Power of Attorney is almost always the better choice for military members.

A Special POA only allows the person you choose to do a specific action while you are deployed, such as pay your electric bill or purchase license plates for your vehicle, handle child care or pet care, or any individual task that would require your signature or access to your sensitive personal information.
