The document specifies the specific powers that the principal is granting to the agent, such as the power to manage financial affairs, make medical decisions, or conduct business transactions on the principal's behalf. The document may specify any limitations or restrictions on the agent's powers, such as a time limit or a restriction on the types of decisions that can be made.

Benefits of Registering a Durable Power of Attorney
Flexibility
A Durable Power of Attorney is flexible in that the principal can choose to grant as much or as little authority as they want to the agent. The document can be tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of the principal.
Privacy
By granting a power of attorney to an agent, the principal can keep their affairs private and avoid the need for court proceedings to appoint a guardian or conservator.
Control
A Durable power of attorney allows the principal to retain control over their affairs and make decisions for themselves as long as possible. It also allows the principal to revoke the agent's authority if they are no longer comfortable with their decision-making.
Avoiding the need for court proceedings
Registering a durable power of attorney can help avoid the need for court proceedings to appoint a guardian or conservator in the event that the principal becomes incapacitated. This can save time and money for the principal and their family.

Frequently asked Questions
What is a Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA)?
A Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows someone else, called the “agent” or “attorney-in-fact,” to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated or unable to make decisions for yourself.
How is a Durable Power of Attorney is different from a regular Power of Attorney?
A regular Power of Attorney terminates if the principal becomes incapacitated or unable to make decisions for themselves. A Durable Power of Attorney, on the other hand, remains in effect even if the principal becomes incapacitated.
What decisions can an agent make under a Durable Power of Attorney?
The agent can make financial and legal decisions on the principal’s behalf, such as managing bank accounts, paying bills, signing contracts, and making investments.
How do I create a Durable Power of Attorney?
To create a Durable Power of Attorney, you need to complete a legal document that complies with the laws of your state. You will need to appoint an agent and specify their powers and responsibilities. The document must be signed in the presence of a notary public.
When does a Durable Power of Attorney expire?
A Durable Power of Attorney remains in effect until the principal revokes it, passes away, or a court terminates it. Some states require that a DPOA be reviewed and updated periodically to ensure it remains valid and enforceable.
What is the difference between a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and a Financial or General Power of Attorney?
The Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care authorizes someone to make decisions about your health care. A Financial or General Power of Attorney allows someone to act on your behalf in financial or other matters. You can have both a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and a Financial or General Power of Attorney, and you can name a different agent for the purposes of each document.
