A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows an individual (known as the “principal”) to appoint another person or entity (known as the “agent” or “attorney-in-fact”) to make decisions on their behalf in the event that they become incapacitated or are unable to make decisions for themselves.

The responsibilities of a Power of Attorney can vary depending on the specific powers granted in the legal document. Some common responsibilities include managing the principal’s finances, making healthcare decisions, and handling legal matters on behalf of the principal.

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows an individual to appoint someone to make decisions on their behalf, while a Guardian is appointed by a court to make decisions for someone who is incapacitated and unable to make decisions for themselves. A Power of Attorney allows the principal to choose who will make decisions for them, while a Guardian is appointed by the court.

No, a Power of Attorney expires upon the death of the principal. After the principal’s death, the agent no longer has the authority to make decisions on behalf of the deceased individual.
