Final answer:
An attorney-in-fact under a general power of attorney can do everything except making medical decisions for the principal.
Step-by-step explanation:
An attorney-in-fact under a general power of attorney can do everything except making medical decisions for the principal.
A general power of attorney grants someone the authority to act on behalf of another person in various legal and financial matters. This includes executing legal documents, managing financial affairs, and representing the principal in legal proceedings.
However, making medical decisions for the principal typically requires a separate legal document called a healthcare proxy or a medical power of attorney. This document appoints a specific person to make medical decisions for the principal if they are unable to do so themselves.
