What is a general durable power of attorney? A general durable power of attorney authorizes someone to act in a wide range of legal and business matters and remains in effect even if you become incapacitated. The document is also known as a durable power of attorney for finances.
A power of attorney allows one person to give legal authority to another person to act on their behalf. A medical power of attorney allows for another person to make medical decisions for you, while a financial power of attorney authorizes another person to make financial decisions for you.
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.
When someone makes you the agent in their power of attorney, you cannot: Write a will for them, nor can you edit their current will. Take money directly from their bank accounts. Make decisions after the person you are representing dies. Give away your role as agent in the power of attorney.
If you execute a general POA, one of the biggest potential disadvantages is that your Agent has the ability to devastate you financially. With a general POA your Agent can withdraw funds from all your financial and investment accounts, sell your property, and even enter contracts in your name.

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.
