Looking for the right phrase
Hello,
I am looking for a phrase/word describing the legal power given to an attorney or agent to make decision on behalf of someone. I am not quite sure whether "power of attorney" would be the right phrase as it only describes the power that given to another individual because the person is incapacitated. I would be grateful if you could recommend alternatives which do not require such condition.
Regards
Hamid

A proxy is someone you authorize to be your substitute in some specific situation, which usually involves voting on your behalf.
I'm not sure what form the authorization of a proxy must take, but 'power of attorney' sounds much, much wider-ranging to me.
So, your sentence does not
