A power of attorney is a legal document that lets your chosen agent handle financial and or health care matters on your behalf.
Choosing the right agent and setting clear limits helps prevent confusion and protects your interests now and in the future.
A POA may be durable to stay effective if you lose capacity, and it can be limited or broad in scope depending on your goals.
Key elements include appointing an agent, outlining powers, adding alternates, defining when the agreement takes effect and how to revoke it, and following signing formalities.
