If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Maybe. There are several different kinds of powers of attorney in Florida and each has specific requirements. Having not reviewed it, it is impossible to say whether your instrument meets those requirements. Frankly, for the minimal cost of having it redone, you can establish a relationship with a Florida attorney who can then be there to help you if a need should arise.

Having not reviewed your power of attorney, it is impossible to say whether yours would suffice for the intended purpose.
