The big idea
Power of attorney lets one person make decisions for another, usually when someone gets sick or hurt. AI can explain the types and what to look for in a doc, so you spot a scammy form before someone signs it.
How to use it
- Ask AI: 'What's the difference between durable and limited POA?'
- Ask AI to list the red flags in a POA doc
- Ask AI to suggest when you actually need a notary
- Ask AI to remind you that a real estate lawyer is always worth it here
Try it
Find a sample POA online. Ask AI to walk through it line by line and flag anything sketchy.
