What is power of attorney?

A power of attorney document is a powerful legal statement that can spell out your wishes for how you are to be cared for if you become incapacitated and cannot speak for yourself. It is possible to adapt a power of attorney document to cover your financial and legal affairs. It can also be drafted to work with your medical documents, such as the advance health care directive.

What can someone who has power of attorney do?

What someone can do with power of attorney depends on the type of POA they have:

Limited Power of Attorney: Delegate a specific task to an agent, granting them the authority they need to act on your behalf.

General Power of Attorney: Grant an agent the power to handle legal and health matters on your behalf, even before incapacitation occurs.

Durable Power of Attorney: Ensure your directives remain in effect, even if you become incapacitated. This comprehensive document provides long-lasting protection.

Springing Power of Attorney: Activate this authority only in the event of incapacitation, giving you peace of mind knowing that someone trusted will step in when needed.
