Power of Attorney

What is a Durable Power of Attorney?

A Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) is a legal document that grants someone, known as the "agent" or "attorney-in-fact," the authority to make decisions on behalf of another person, referred to as the "principal." The term "durable" signifies that the power of attorney remains valid even if the principal becomes incapacitated or mentally incompetent.
