Re: Power of Attorney

The rights that may be exercised are laid out in the document that conveys the power of attorney. A power of attorney is not that of a practitioner of law. The power may be durable or conditioned to a specific transaction. Depending on the context of the power that is granted, the designated power of attorney may be exempt from certain liability.
