The main difference between the health care and durable power of attorney is their scope. 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.
How to create a medical power of attorney Get a medical power of attorney form. Select your healthcare agent. Determine which medical decisions your agent can make on your behalf.

Drafting the Power of Attorney (1-2 weeks) If you use an online legal service or template, it may only take a few days. If you work with an attorney, it may take longer, as they will need time to review your situation, draft the document, and make any necessary revisions.
Temporary POA: A temporary POA allows you to appoint someone to act on your behalf for a specific and time-limited capacity. Unlike the durable and springing POA, which remain in effect or spring into effect upon your incapacity, the temporary POA becomes ineffective the moment you become incapacitated.
