(Reuters) – Coca-Cola Co raised its full-year sales and profit forecasts on Wednesday, as demand bounces back from pandemic lows for its beverages following the re-opening of theaters, restaurants and stadiums.

Shares of the world’s largest soda maker, which struggled for much of last year after public venues were shut to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, rose 3% in early trading.

Coca-Cola’s revenues in North America, its biggest market, rose 28% in the second quarter, helped by the vaccine-aided reopening and easing of capacity restrictions across the United States.

Reopening economies in Europe, Asia and Latin America also lifted the company’s adjusted overall revenue by 41.1% in the reported quarter to $10.13 billion, beating analysts’ average estimate of $9.32 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitv.

“Our results in the second quarter show how our business is rebounding faster than the overall economic recovery,” Coca-Cola Chief Executive Officer James Quincey said in a statement.

The company’s total net revenue had slumped 28% in the year-ago quarter due to the lockdowns.

Rival PepsiCo Inc, which is less dependent on sales to restaurants and bars, reported a 20.5% jump in second-quarter revenue last week.

Still, Coca-Cola said volumes were pressured in markets where there has been a resurgence in infections.

The company upgraded its annual organic revenue target, expecting it to rise 12% to 14% versus its prior forecast of a high single digits increase.

Annual adjusted earnings per share are expected to rise 13% to 15%, the company said, compared with its previous estimate for a high single digits to low double digits increase.

Net income attributable to company shareholders rose 48% to $2.64 billion in the second quarter ended July 2. Excluding onetime items, the company earned 68 cents per share, beating expectations of 56 cents.

LONDON (Reuters) – Risk-aversion ruled on Monday as a surge in worldwide coronavirus cases drove down bond yields and left stocks facing their longest losing streak since the pandemic first hit global markets 18 months ago.

Summer markets were suddenly stormy. Europe’s STOXX 600 saw its worst morning in two months and London’s FTSE fell over 2% as Britain’s ‘freedom day’ when it lifted COVID restrictions was overshadowed by its double-jabbed health minister contracting the virus.

Asia had seen Japan’s Nikkei and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng drop 1.3% overnight too. Cases hit an 11-month high at the weekend in Singapore. Thailand had its highest single-day increase since the pandemic began and Sydney’s construction workers were told to down tools after cases rose there as well.

Wall Street futures down nearly 1% although it was good news for those holding safe-haven government bonds or the dollar, which climbed to a more than three-month high.

Natwest’s Global Head of Desk Strategy, John Briggs, said the chances of broader lockdowns being needed again were growing and also China’s economy was slowing, meaning a recent surge in commodity prices could be peaking although oil is now expensive enough to be a weight on many economies.

“Where all this comes out of the wash for me is that with this narrative gaining traction, it is clearly more bullish for the U.S. dollar,” Briggs said.

He said that if COVID-19 cases rise again, factors to consider included which countries have the highest vaccination rates, their appetite for social restrictions and their fiscal appetite.

“The U.S. comes out on top of all these,” Briggs added. “We are in a period of renewed US exceptionalism … So all this is bullish for the USD.”

In Europe’s stock markets, COVID angst saw travel and leisure stocks fall to their lowest level of the year. Shares of cruiseship operator Carnival, airlines easyJet and British Airways-owner IAG, and the UK’s Restaurant Group and Cineworld cinema chain all fell between 5% and 6%.

It wasn’t just COVID crushing the mood either. China’s supersized tech trio Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent had sank 2.5% – 3% overnight after a Shanghai court at the weekend posted a list of “typical unfair competition cases”.

PERMANENTLY CHANGED?

Oil prices sank more than 2% after the OPEC group of producing nations overcame a recent spat and agreed to boost output in a hastily arranged meeting on Sunday.

Brent crude was down $1.70 at a five-week low of $71.85 a barrel. U.S. crude fell a similar amount to $70.59 a barrel.

Global economic growth is beginning to show signs of fatigue as many countries, particularly in Asia, struggle to curb the highly contagious Delta variant of the novel coronavirus and have been forced into some form of lockdown.

Investors are also worried about the spectre of elevated inflation, which the market has long feared.

Economists at Bank of America downgraded their forecast for U.S. economic growth this year to 6.5%, from 7% previously, but maintained their 5.5% forecast for next year.

“As for inflation, the bad news is it’s likely to remain elevated near term,” they said in a note, pointing to their latest proprietary inflation meter, which remains high.

“The good news is … we are likely near the peak, at least for the next few months, as base effects are less favourable and shortage pressures rotate away from goods towards services.”

In bond markets, the move to safe-haven assets meant the recent fall in yields continued. Germany’s 10-year bond yield was at its lowest since late March at -0.369% ahead of an ECB meeting this week. U.S. Treasury yields slipped to 1.265% and have fallen for 11 of the last 15 trading sessions.

Action in the currency market lifted the dollar 0.3% against a basket of major currencies to 92.976.

But it failed to make ground against the Japanese yen – the dollar/yen currency pair traded below the 110 yen per dollar mark at 109.85, leaving the yen 0.2% higher on the day.

Britain’s sterling hit a three-month low against the dollar at $1.3706 after its health minister Sajid Javid had tested positive for COVID-19. That forced Prime Minister Boris Johnson and finance minister Rishi Sunak to quarantine on Sunday.

“Despite rising vaccination rates, a return to pre-corona normality seems questionable,” Ulrich Leuchtmann, head of FX and commodity research at Commerzbank, wrote in a research note.

LONDON (Reuters) – Sterling fell to a three-month low on Monday even as most COVID-19 restrictions in England were lifted, as a cautious tone in global markets meant riskier currencies lost out in favour of the safe-haven dollar.

Britain faces a new wave of COVID-19, but Prime Minister Boris Johnson is lifting most restrictions in England in what some have dubbed Freedom Day. Johnson has urged the public to remain cautious.

Stock markets fell in the Asian and early European sessions as a surge in worldwide coronavirus cases spooked investors. Wall Street was set to open lower.

Last week, the pound had its worst week in a month versus the dollar. The downward turn continued on Monday with sterling hitting $1.3703 at 0946 GMT, its lowest since April 13.

At 1050 GMT, cable was down 0.4% on the day at $1.3707. Versus the euro, the pound was down 0.2% at 85.89 pence.

“I think the pound is basically being influenced by general risk appetite as opposed to anything specifically geared towards the UK itself,” said Ned Rumpeltin, head of European currency strategy at TD Securities.

Rumpeltin said that the pound looks vulnerable to further downside pressure due to low risk appetite and that he was watching $1.3670 as the level at which to reassess the currency’s outlook.

Britain has the seventh highest death toll in the world and is forecast to soon have more new infections each day than it did at the height of the second wave of the pandemic. But it is ahead of its European peers in terms of vaccine rollout.

“The world will be watching the U.K. experiment with huge interest,” wrote Deutsche Bank strategist Jim Reid in a note to clients.

“It could show a pathway back towards normality or it could be a warning to even heavily vaccinated countries that COVID will be a problem for a decent length of time still.”

Positioning data showed that speculators’ net long position on the pound – bets that the pound will strengthen – was cut to its smallest since January 2021, in the week to July 13.

Last week, two top Bank of England officials surprised investors by suggesting monetary policy might be tightened sooner than expected.

For the week ahead, retail sales data and flash PMI surveys both on Friday, will be closely watched.

A European Central Bank (ECB) meeting on Thursday is also in focus. Two weeks after unveiling its closely anticipated strategy review, the ECB will face questions on what its new 2% inflation target might mean for policy.

LONDON (Reuters) – Some Bank of England officials say the time is approaching for action to fend off higher inflation as Britain reopens its economy, but others want more time to assess the risks or say the jump in prices is likely to prove temporary.

Following are highlights of BoE policymakers’ recent comments about inflation and the outlook for the central bank’s bond-buying programme and near-zero benchmark interest rates.

The BoE is due to announce it next monetary policy decisions on Aug. 5 along with new forecasts for the economy.

ANDREW BAILEY, GOVERNOR

July 15: “What we will have to do, again, is go through all the evidence and assess to what extent we think the sorts of things that underlie that are likely to be transitory … I do react somewhat to people who say ‘the Bank of England’s being casual about it’.”

DAVE RAMSDEN, DEPUTY GOVERNOR (MARKETS & BANKING)

July 14: “Based on the rapid pace of developments since we published our May forecasts and the shift in the balance of risks, I can envisage those conditions for considering tightening being met somewhat sooner than I had previously expected. That reflects my current assessment that on balance I put more weight on my inflationary than my disinflationary scenario.”

JONATHAN HASKEL, EXTERNAL MEMBER

July 19: “In the immediate term, the risk of a pre-emptive monetary tightening curtailing the recovery continues to outweigh the risk of a temporary period of above-target inflation. For the foreseeable future, in my view, tight policy isn’t the right policy.”

MICHAEL SAUNDERS, EXTERNAL MEMBER

July 15: “In my view, if activity and inflation indicators remain in line with recent trends and downside risks to growth and inflation do not rise significantly (and these conditions are important), then it may become appropriate fairly soon to withdraw some of the current monetary stimulus … For me, the question of whether to curtail our current asset purchase program early will be under consideration at our forthcoming meetings.”

JON CUNLIFFE, DEPUTY GOVERNOR (FINANCIAL STABILITY)

July 14: “One shouldn’t expect the reopening of the economy to be smooth. This is not something that you can just close down and reopen without bumps in the way … We’re seeing a surge in demand. We’re seeing some constrictions in supply that’s driving inflation. How persistent is that (is the) clear question… We would expect some of these pressures, and we would expect transitory pressures at this stage.”

GERTJAN VLIEGHE, EXTERNAL MEMBER

May 27: “The first rise in Bank Rate is likely to become appropriate only well into next year, with some modest further tightening thereafter…. It would probably take until the first quarter of next year to have a clear view of the post-furlough unemployment and wage dynamics.”

BEN BROADBENT, DEPUTY GOVERNOR (MONETARY POLICY)

May 7: Broadbent said policymakers were less likely to loosen policy than they thought three months earlier.

“The bias toward easing that we might have had is less pronounced,” he said.

SILVANA TENREYRO, EXTERNAL MEMBER

April 12: “One lesson that we learned from the financial crisis is that withdrawing policy support too early can be very costly.”

“Withdrawing it too early… can lead to scarring effects on the labour market that would be very costly and slow down growth going forward.”

-Taylor Wimpey España environmental strategy puts sustainability at  heart of new homes

-The Crest offers luxury living with customisable outdoor spaces

-Climate change, nature, resources and waste all under the spotlight like never before

The way we live and the way we holiday are changing. Both the pandemic and climate change are having an impact, as leading Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey España explains:

“The pause in international travel during the pandemic, combined with the focus on facilitating working from home, has caused us to think about how we work, live and travel in new ways. The circumstances have opened the door for longer breaks, with many families now able to combine working from home overseas with taking some time off to enjoy the sun.”
Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey España

Fewer, longer breaks involve fewer flights than multiple short breaks. This is a key factor in enabling holidaymakers to enjoy overseas locations in a more sustainable manner. It also means that second homes are particularly well suited to those looking to minimise their impact on the environment while also getting away from the stresses of everyday life.

Of course, sustainability is about far more than the behaviour of those usingsecond homes – it is also about how they are designed and built. Taylor Wimpey  Espana’s environmental strategy aims to account for a range of factors when
the company develops new properties, from water shortages and habitat degradation to the impact of increasingly extreme weather and the need to consume fewer materials.

All of this and more has been taken into consideration at The Crest, Taylor Wimpey España’s newly launched development on the Costa del Sol. Located at the Westin La Quinta Golf Resort and Spa, at Benahavis, Marbella, the boutique
development of 14 luxurious, three-bedroom homes enjoys fabulous natural surroundings. The protection of that natural setting is a top priority, as is building the homes in a way that minimises their impact on the environment.

The Crest, which has an energy rating of B, has an electric water heater with an energy savings system, with the hot water supply produced by thermal solar energy. Each home also includes a parking space with preinstallation of an electric vehicle charging station. Prices start from €385,000 plus VAT.

“At The Crest, we were keen to show that homes that respect the environment can still be wonderfully luxurious. We’ve provided spacious living areas and large terraces, all nestled on a pretty hill, delivering a sense of privacy and exclusivity that is a step above other residential complexes in the area.” 
Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey España

The Crest’s landscape-style terraces merge into the living rooms of each home, while large patio doors make the most of the natural light available and the spectacular views. The five penthouses feature amazing private solarium areas, with owners able to choose from a range of setups for different uses, including outdoor dining, sunbathing, exercise and ultimate relaxation, with the installation of a rooftop Jacuzzi. There is also a designer communal pool with a solarium area and showers at The Crest, along with prettily landscaped gardens.

The prestigious La Quinta Golf, meanwhile, provides a Mediterranean sauna, aromatic steam bath, Hammam, hydromassage, aqua-therapy, eight wellness treatment rooms and a fitness centre, in addition to its outstanding golf and
dining facilities.

“The high specification homes at The Crest are very well suited to the prominence of La Quinta. This is a superb new development; we anticipate demand for these homes will be particularly strong.”

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis is continuing his planned treatment and rehabilitation after intestinal surgery 10 days ago and will leave hospital as soon as possible, the Vatican said on Tuesday.

The Vatican’s daily medical bulletin on the 84-year-old pope, who had part of his colon removed on July 4, also said he had met many patients during his stay at the Gemelli hospital but felt particularly close to “those who are bedridden and cannot return home”.

It gave no further details on the pope’s condition. The Vatican had said on Monday that he would stay in hospital a few days longer than the seven originally expected to “optimise his medical and rehabilitative therapy”.

On Sunday he made his first public appearance since the surgery, standing for about 10 minutes while speaking from the balcony of his suite.

He has no commitments for the rest of the month apart from his Sunday blessing, though the Vatican is proceeding with plans for a papal trip to Slovakia and the Hungarian capital of Budapest in mid-September.

Scotland’s bishops on Monday announced that the pope will attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow in November, health permitting.

LONDON (Reuters) – JPMorgan Chase & Co and Goldman Sachs Group Inc are taking on a consumer finance market many outsiders have tried and failed to crack: Britain.

The two are testing the UK market to see if their U.S. retail brands, Chase and Marcus, can be rolled out globally. The challenge, analysts say, is scraping some business from customers who are entrenched with local providers.

Success hinges on whether they can deliver slicker technology and more attractive pricing than incumbents. Six lenders dominate the UK retail arena: Lloyds Banking Group PLC, NatWest Group PLC, Barclays PLC, HSBC Holdings PLC, Banco Santander SA and Nationwide Building Society.

It will be difficult, analysts said, because customers tend to have sticky relationships with banks. Transferring money or opening additional accounts can seem too much of a hassle.

“The length of time it takes to build up a franchise in the UK is easily underestimated,” said Goodbody banking analyst John Cronin. “It takes years.”

JPMorgan has already bolstered its British venture by purchasing digital wealth manager Nutmeg for 700 million pounds ($973.00 million). The deal helps JPMorgan to tap a growing band of pandemic-era savers.

Goldman, whose Marcus savings account launched in Britain in 2018, plans to offer services like automated investment management in the UK next year after gathering more than $30 billion in deposits here.

Startups have also entered the British banking scene, including Metro and Monzo, but have made losses and have yet to crack the dominance of the big players. Germany’s N26 exited the market after just two years.

“We are not underserved here; we have an awful lot of existing providers,” said Sarah Kocianski, head of research at digital banking consultancy 11:FS. “Who are they going to target?”

TEST CASE

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said last month the bank is using Britain as a test case to expand globally.

“The UK is the beginning,” he said. “If it works there, then we’ll think about other things we could do with that.”

By offering products digitally, JPMorgan can see what strategies work best without the cost of branches, Dimon said.

JPMorgan is the largest U.S. bank, with more than $1 trillion in consumer deposits as of March 31. Its retail business accounted for 42% of revenue last year, and it plans to have branches in 48 out of 50 U.S. states by the end of summer.

To grow, JPMorgan Chase’s retail business needs to stretch beyond the United States.

For Goldman, consumer banking is a key pillar of CEO David Solomon’s reinvention plan. He wants to reduce reliance on volatile trading and investment banking revenues.

Goldman’s fledgling consumer business accounted for less than 5% of its revenue last year. Deposits topped $100 billion in the first quarter.

Those figures are small relative to larger banks like JPMorgan, but Goldman is growing its consumer business quickly to get cheaper funding and new revenue sources.

“It mirrors what they are both doing in the U.S.,” said Morgan Stanley bank stock analyst Betsy Graseck. “The rationale is they want to be servicing all consumers across savings, investing and borrowing.”

The two U.S. banks have chosen Britain because of its established payments system, solid regulatory infrastructure, an affluent customer base and compelling talent, analysts said.

“The UK is an extremely attractive market because of its thriving fintech ecosystem. Talent in the sector is both plentiful and ever-growing,” said Ben Richmond, CEO of regtech Cube, which provides regulatory intelligence to banks.

Britain is also ahead in terms of Open Banking, which aims to give customers full control of their financial data, making it easier to switch banks.

“The UK is charging months ahead of the rest of Europe when it comes to Open Banking,” said Aurelie L’Hostis, senior analyst at Forrester.

JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs spokespeople declined to comment for this story.

TOUGH MARKET

But the British market is also tough. The four largest UK banks reported a collective 12% decline in revenues last year as rock-bottom interest rates squeezed income. The industry has been pruning branches to cut costs, since customers are visiting less in favour of digital options.

Yet the digital challengers, including Monzo, Starling and Revolut, have had a mixed track record.

Some analysts, however, can see a path for JPMorgan and Goldman to take significant market share in Britain in everything from deposits to home loans.

“New entrants can only compete by keeping costs lower than competitors. JPMorgan and GS might have a competitive advantage in that they have deep pockets to build the technology from scratch or acquire new capabilities with fintech acquisitions,” said L’Hostis.

Britain’s retail banks make the bulk of their profits on the difference between interest generated on loans – including from giant mortgage books – and what they pay out on deposits, because they do not charge for basic current accounts.

Goodbody’s Cronin believes there could be space for a challenger in home lending, where the ten largest mortgage lenders in Britain accounted for 85% of the market in 2020, based on data published by banking trade body UK Finance.

“The returns in mortgages can be highly attractive, particularly if they can keep the cost base down,” Cronin said.

Ultimately, the cost of rolling out these initiatives has to be worth it, said Wells Fargo bank analyst Mike Mayo. For instance, JPMorgan scrapped its U.S. digital bank Finn just a year after a nationwide debut in 2017 because it did not work out as expected.

“They need to demonstrate a return on their tech investments,” Mayo said.

By Gordon Glenister, author of Influencer Marketing Strategy and host of the Influence podcast

Influencer marketing is one of the darlings of post Pandemic advertising giving the huge rise in online engagement. The global industry is expected to top $15bn this year from just $1.6bn in 2016.  So why has influencer marketing been so successful?

Gordon Glenister, author of Influencer Marketing Strategy, host of the Influence podcast

Evidence suggests that consumers are rejecting some forms of traditional advertising in favour of recommendations from friends, family and other social proof. This is particularly relevant among Gen Z and Millennials. When done well, influencer marketing can generate 11x more ROI than other forms of media.  Influencer marketing helps build authenticity and brand trust. A higher percentage of consumers are now using adblocking software a sign that interruptive advertising is alienating them. Influencers are natural story tellers and often able to articulate the brand message in an engaging enthusiastic way which is seen as relatable to audiences.  When running campaigns, if the brands website URL is being promoted this will help boost SEO and relevant traffic.

Influencer marketing is ideal for start-ups that don’t always have large marketing budgets. A gifting campaign for example to 50 influencers could create a measurable response. One should always be reminded however that a gifting strategy does not guarantee results. You are not paying the influencer after all for their time and audience value.  One of the other benefits of influencer marketing is that content can often remain evergreen particularly on blogs and YouTube, giving a reoccurring return for the brand.

What can brands do to implement an influencer marketing strategy?
Recruit influencers that align with the brand and have a similar target audience through their follower base. Influencer marketing discovery platforms allow you to interrogate profiles giving details about gender, age, geolocation, income levels, education background, interest levels and quality of follower base (i.e., not fake or a robot). In addition to the follower base, the platforms will allow you to view engagement rates and follower growth, all of which are important.

The types of mechanic a brand can use depends on the industry and of course where that audience is. Instagram and YouTube remain the key focus platforms for influencer marketing. Twitter and LinkedIn for B2B influencer marketing. The most important consideration like with all marketing strategies is to have proper measurable goals. These would include:

1. Growing overall reach and brand awareness – maybe using a large follower-based influencer
2. Diving sales to websites, app downloads, conference sign ups, restaurant bookings etc through trackable links
3. Increasing social interactions likes, comments, shares, views
4. Gaining insights into brand sentiment and other feedback

Campaign ideas

1. Posts and stories on Instagram

Many brand collaborations work in this way. A good way to get a great campaign dynamic is to have a range of influencer audiences dependent on their follower size. A typical campaign may involve 20 influencers made up of a mix. Brands should make sure that they allow enough budget to run the campaigns and involve the influencers as part of the strategy not just merely as existing campaign amplifiers.   The posts can be either through photos or videos. Within these posts there maybe competitions, discounted offers, Instagram live Q&As, unboxing videos to showcase new products and loads more.  Brands  can create their own campaign hashtags to able to track engagement.

2. Panel discussions at events either in person or online
Brands can invite influencers to support an industry issue that helps convey bring wider consumer awareness. For example, “Body Positive, Diversity matters etc. Influencers can also be involved in new store openings, personal appearances and so much more.

3. Brand research
Brands can use influencer strategies to gain valued insight on new brand/product extensions. An example of this happened when influencer agency MG Empower working with brand Amyris enlisted several influencers to an immersive 3-day process of innovation, collaboration, and a true commitment to creating a brand created for consumers, with consumers, and on social. Influencers connected with audiences to get real-time feedback and insights on their relationship with sugar while the process was going on.  The innovative digital campaign including the use of interactive media as live videos and Q&A stories offered audiences an experience that they wanted to be part of. The high engagement rates and impressive number of audience insights and learnings from influencer posts indicate that this innovative approach to influencer marketing maximises the potential of generating increased interest and greater levels of brand engagement, loyalty and equity.

4. Co-creation of new brands
Influencers are becoming “brands” in their own right and accepting licensing opportunities and joint ventures. Brands are realising that creating an influencer product line could be a real money spinner giving that they have a readymade audience with the influencer.  Danielle Bernstein launched her swimwear range with Onia and sold $1.8m in just 12 hours  @Shopweworewhat

5. Ambassador programmes

The best results in influencer marketing campaigns often come when the brand is working on a more long-term programme which is why you are seeing influencers displaying their ambassador status on the Instagram bios.  There are two types of programmes, one that could be a top VIP programme for influencers, another that could be for consumer brand fans who are super engaging but have smaller audiences. These can develop into wider online communities as well giving real value to brands.  Ambassadors could be given access to company HQs/factories behind the scenes content opportunities.  If a brand sponsors a music festival for example, inviting ambassadors along to that would be a great way of engaging consumers through influencer content.

6. How to videos
Influencers know how to create content, and most are actually referred to as “content creators”. Brands can use influencers to produce a series of how to videos or sponsor existing content. This has worked very well with food influencers creating recipes, drink influencers creating cocktails, gamers creating tips and tricks to play certain games, and beauty influencers creating make up tutorials.

A power of attorney or ‘letter of intent’ is simply a written authorization to act for or represent another in personal matters, business, or any other legal issue. The person authoring the power of attorney is often the principal, donor, or grantor. The attorney must follow specific steps in creating the document and must be registered for the state before it can be used. Also, before the document is filed, it must be recorded with the clerk of court in the county where the attorney lives.

A power of attorney may be used to create various types of legal documents. The most common is a ‘personal representative’ of the principal, who can act in the person’s name and handle any of the attorney’s business concerns. Other examples include a power of attorney that authorizes one agent to act on behalf of another, to execute documents, and to sign communications.

There are several different types of powers of attorney, including limited or general powers. Limited powers of attorney are typically set forth in a will or other legally binding document. Limited powers of attorney give the agent the right to handle some aspects of the agent’s business but not all aspects. In some situations, it may be possible to add the attorney’s family members to the list of people to whom the agent can make business decisions, provided they disclose to the principal that they are relatives and that they have consented to such inclusion. General powers of attorney to grant the attorney broad powers to do many things in regards to his or her client’s finances. However, if the principal does not trust the agent, there may be little that the attorney can do.

Another common way of creating a power of attorney is to add a special power of attorney to the will. When creating this special authority, however, it is important to remember that there are strict laws that prevent the attorney from participating in certain practices. For example, the attorney may not engage in investment practices, he or she may not work as an independent contractor, and he or she may not engage in real estate transactions.

A special power of attorney may also be created by a person who has no will at all. This occurs when a person receives an asset gift that does not describe what it is or how it will be utilized, such as a power of attorney to sell a business. In this instance, the person must follow the law to make sure that he or she will not act in bad faith. Otherwise, the asset cannot be transferred and therefore the person must give notice before performing any specific act.

In short, when people are creating legal documents that grant authority for someone to make medical decisions for them, they may choose to use either a limited or a special power of attorney. No matter which type of document they choose, it is vitally important that they understand how it will be used and under what circumstances. It is even more important that they understand the importance of consulting an attorney if they have any questions or if they are creating documents that would put themselves in a position that would require their interference with another party’s personal medical decisions.
