KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and
WHEREAS, the Principal intends this Power of Attorney to be governed by the laws of the State of [state_law] and all applicable provisions of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent").

The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times.

The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of 2026-04-19, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-19, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law. Upon the expiration date, the Agent's authority under this instrument shall cease immediately, and the Agent shall have no further power to act on the Principal's behalf. Any actions taken by the Agent after the expiration date shall be void and of no legal effect.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney. A third party who refuses to honor this Power of Attorney may be liable for attorneys' fees and damages as provided by applicable law. The Principal hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who acts in good faith reliance upon the representations and authority of the Agent under this instrument.
The Principal reserves the right to revoke, amend, or modify this Power of Attorney at any time, provided that the Principal has the legal capacity to do so.

This Power of Attorney shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], including but not limited to the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted by the State of [state_law] and any amendments thereto.

If any provision of this Power of Attorney is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from this instrument and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Agent is hereby authorized to take all necessary actions to ensure the practice maintains compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and FDA regulations regarding sterile, single-use acupuncture needles. This includes the authority to audit infection control logs and ensure that all needle injury liability protocols are strictly followed in accordance with the standards of the Georgia State Board of Acupuncturists.

In the specialized field of acupuncture, your practice faces unique operational hurdles—from maintaining FDA-regulated needle inventory to managing infection control protocols. If you are incapacitated or unavailable, a standard Power of Attorney may fail to address clinical continuity. Our Georgia-specific document ensures your agent has the authority to oversee intake forms, manage herbal consultation records, and navigate the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, keeping your practice compliant with state board regulations even in your absence.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Acupuncturist:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Needle injury liability
Informed consent forms should clearly detail the risks of acupuncture, ensuring patients acknowledge potential injuries.
Infection claims
Use of sterilized, single-use needles and maintaining strict hygiene protocols should be outlined in practice policies and patient communications.
While Georgia law does not require your attorney-in-fact to be a licensed acupuncturist, they must have the authority to manage business operations while respecting O.C.G.A. clinical boundaries. Your agent should be empowered to hire licensed practitioners to perform treatment sessions to avoid scope of practice violations.
Yes, provided the POA grants specific authority over operational assets. This ensures your practice remains compliant with OSHA infection control standards and FDA medical device regulations regarding the storage and disposal of sterile, single-use needles.
Yes. To be enforceable under Georgia law and recognized by financial and medical institutions, the document must be signed by the principal, witnessed by at least one person, and authenticated by a Notary Public.
