Choosing between durable and general depends on what you need for the future. We suggest talking to an estate planning lawyer to see which one is right for you. In short, durable powers of attorney give better protection if someone cant make decisions and keep decision-making going.
What a power of attorney cant do Change a principals will. Break their fiduciary duty to act in the principals best interests. Make decisions on behalf of the principal after their death. (POA ends with the death of the principal. Change or transfer POA to someone else.
The durable aspect of this power means that the designated individual, often called an agent or attorney-in-fact, can manage tasks like paying your bills, managing investments, or making healthcare decisions according to the permissions youve set out, even if you are not competent to do so yourself.
A power of attorney cannot override a living will if the principal created this while they were of sound mind and fully comprehended their decisions. The only exception is if the patient includes a condition in the living will that allows a proxys decision to override theirs.
Potential for abuse: The potential for abuse is one of the biggest drawbacks of a durable power of attorney, which is why it is important to pick a person you trust. The individual you designated could cause financial loss if they misuse their power.
