You can also create alternative representation rules by clicking + Or and defining an additional representation option. To remove a representation rule, click Remove. Once you have finished configuring the Power of Attorney, click Save.
If you need to create additional Powers of Attorney, repeat the steps above. When you are finished, click Next, review the summary, and then click Save.
Edit or Delete a Power of Attorney
To edit or delete a Power of Attorney, open the relevant Power of Attorney. Click the โฎ (three-dot) menu. From there, you can edit the PoA details, upload or replace the PoA document, edit the scope of the representation authority, or delete the PoA.
