Durable Power of Attorney
What Is a Durable Power of Attorney?
A durable power of attorney is a legal document that gives another person the authority to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf in the event that you are unable to do so. This document is also called a "durable" power of attorney because it remains in effect even if you become incapacitated.
It is different from a general power of attorney. A general POA gives someone the ability to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf while you are still able to do so. If you become incapacitated, a general power of attorney is no longer valid.
It is important to note that a durable power of attorney must be signed by the person granting the power as well as the person who is being given the power in order for the document to be valid.
Responsibilities of a Durable POA
The person who is granted the power of attorney has a lot of responsibility. He or she must make sure that all of the person's financial and legal affairs are taken care of properly. If the person who is being given the power does not fulfill his or her duties properly, he or she may be held legally liable for any mistakes that are made.
When Should You Create a Durable Power of Attorney?
Creating a Durable Power of Attorney is wise when you're of sound mind and want to ensure someone you trust can manage your affairs if you become incapacitated. Start planning today for peace of mind.
Benefits of a Durable POA
A durable power of attorney can be very useful in many situations. For example, if you become incapacitated, it is important that someone is able to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf. This can be especially important if you have minor children. If you are unable to make decisions for yourself, you will not be able to make decisions for your children either. It is important that someone is able to make decisions for you in this situation.
Travel
If you are going to be traveling for an extended period of time. If you are going to be out of the country for an extended period of time, it may be difficult for you to take care of your financial and legal affairs. If you have someone who is able to make decisions for you in this situation, you can be sure that your affairs are being taken care of properly.
Nursing Home
A durable power of attorney can also be useful if you are going to be entering a nursing home. If you are going to be entering a nursing home, it is important that someone is able to make decisions for you in this situation. If you have a durable power of attorney in place, someone will be able to make decisions for you in this situation.
