Durable Power of Attorney

A Durable General Power of Attorney appoints an agent (attorney-in-fact) to make decisions for you when you no longer are able to do so.  Regardless of whether you execute a will or a trust, there are always circumstances where a power of attorney is needed.  While a trust “owns” your assets, you have other financial aspects to your life, such as pensions and medical insurance that may need to be addressed while you are incapacitated.
