Power Of Attorney

Hi, can anyone clarify the correct grammatical context for 'power of attorney'?!

Examples I have seen used:

I am my mother's power of attorney
I have my mother's power of attorney
I have power of attorney for my mother
I have power of attorney over my mother
My mother granted me power of attorney
My mother's power of attorney is me
My mother's power of attorney goes to me
My mother appointed me as her power of attorney
My mother delegated (her) power of attorney to me
My mother established (a) power of attorney for me

Most definitions I can find define POA as the document, though some define it as the person named in the document. Taken literally, surely it must be the power that is created by the document. Nearly all definitions focus on the purpose of a POA, which I am familiar with, but I am struggling to use it in a sentence with any degree of confidence!
