A durable power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives someone you trust the power to make decisions about your finances and health care matters if you become unable to do so yourself. The POA remains in effect even if you become incapacitated.
What does power of attorney durable mean? A durable POA gives someone else legal authority to act on your behalf, and it continues in force even if you lose your mental capacity. Financial POAs give your agent financial powers that may include managing your assets, paying bills, and buying and selling real estate.
To create a durable POA in Illinois, you must: Be at least 18 years old and of sound mind. Sign the POA in front of a notary public and at least one witness. The witness cannot be your agent, your spouse, your descendant, or your sibling. Include specific language in your POA, such as warnings and notices.
A general power of attorney gives someone wide legal authority. However, it ends if the person giving it becomes unable to make decisions. In contrast, a durable power of attorney stays in effect even if the person loses mental capacity. Both types are important for different situations.
