Durable Power of Attorney

A Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions and take actions on your behalf in the event that you become incapacitated or otherwise unable to make decisions for yourself. This type of power of attorney is designed to provide peace of mind, knowing that your affairs will be handled by someone you trust if you are unable to do so. The agent appointed in a Durable Power of Attorney has the authority to manage your finances, make healthcare decisions, conduct business transactions, and more, depending on the scope of their authority outlined in the document. This type of power of attorney typically remains in effect until you revoke it or until your death, making it a useful tool for those who are concerned about what may happen to their affairs in the event of incapacity.
