What is a Durable Power of Attorney?

A durable power of attorney is a legal document that grants someone (your “agent” or “attorney-in-fact”) the authority to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated or unable to act. Unlike a standard power of attorney, a durable POA remains valid even if you lose mental capacity.

Why You Need a Durable Power of Attorney:

  • Ensures your finances and assets are managed if you become ill or incapacitated
  • Avoids the need for court-appointed conservatorship
  • Allows you to choose a trusted person to act in your best interest
  • Ensures continuity in business and financial matters
