Important Facts to Know about a Power of Attorney:
A Power of Attorney should include specific authorization to make gifts of your assets if you intend that your attorney-in-fact be able to do so. The authority to make gifts on your behalf can be important for estate tax planning and for long term care planning. There are a number of cases in which the courts have determined that gifts made by an attorney-in-fact on behalf of the principal were void where the Power of Attorney did not specifically include the authority to make gifts. These cases primarily reflect challenges made by the IRS to the gifts and many resulted in significant additional taxes.
