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.
The document must detail the precise authority granted. To be valid in Nevada, a POA must be either notarized or signed in the presence of two competent, unrelated witnesses. Ignoring this step can invalidate the document.
The Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care appoints someone to ensure that health care wishes are followed. Family members, even a spouse, have no legal right to order health care decisions unless appointed by the individual who is being cared for or by being appointed their Guardian by a court.
A power of attorney (POA) authorizes someone else to handle certain matters, such as finances or health care, on your behalf. If a power of attorney is durable, it remains in effect if you become incapacitated for any reason, including illness and accidents.
One major downfall of a POA is the agent may act in ways or do things that the principal had not intended. There is no direct oversight of the agents activities by anyone other than you, the principal. This can lend a hand to situations such as elder financial abuse and/or fraud.

Key Takeaways. A health care proxy appoints someone to make health care decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. A power of attorney appoints someone to handle your financial matters and make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.
A health care power of attorney only allows your agent to make medical decisions on your behalf, while a durable power of attorney grants your agent broader powers in financial and personal matters.
