A "power of attorney" is a kind of legal instrument which authorizes another person the complete the authority to act as your legal representative, and to make binding legal and financial decisions on your behalf.
You won’t be easily find the power of attorney forms on the Internet, there is usually little or no accompanying explanation of what a power of attorney is, when you need one, or what type to choose. Given that the power of attorney can grant considerable power to a third party to act on your behalf and sign your name to legal contracts, you should give careful consideration to the person to whom you choose to grant those powers, and whether any limits should be imposed in the time the power of attorney will last, or in its scope.
Importantly, powers of attorney issued for the purpose of managing your assets in the event of disability are almost always unlimited in duration, that is, they are "durable" powers of attorney.
