California Senator Dianne Feinstein has given her daughter power of attorney, according to a legal document.
Providing power of attorney to another person, typically a trusted family member or associate, isn't uncommon, and is often used as a way to accomplish certain legal or financial transactions, according to legal experts.
A spokesman for Feinstein declined to comment."The senate office doesn't feel it's appropriate to comment on a private legal matter," he noted.Power of attorney is a legal document"where one person gives another person the authority to act on their behalf just as as though they were in their shoes," noted Ashwani Prabhakar, a trusts and estates attorney at Davidoff Hutcher & Citron.
"Say I'm buying a house in another state, but I can't make it to the closing, so I might give power of attorney to my significant other to act on my behalf and sign the documents for me," Prabhakar noted."And in that case, the power of attorney would actually spell that out."
