Durable Power of Attorney Form
A durable power of attorney form is a kind of letter of authorization or a document similar to a power of attorney, that allows an agent, not necessarily a lawyer, to represent a principal but longer lasting than a power of attorney. This document, compared to a general power of attorney, continues to take effect even in cases when the principal becomes mentally incapacitated, whereas, in a general power of attorney, such powers cease to exist. Having a durable power of attorney is convenient which benefits the principal, especially in times where the principal is needed to attend to and sign certain documents, but due to distance or unavailability, he or she cannot. Having this document gives the agent the power to make decisions as if it was made by the principal. Having this durable power of attorney enables the agent power to make decisions including in those times when the principal is incapable of making decisions for himself or herself. This document simply means the power of attorney endures in times of the principal's incapacity, unlike a general power of attorney where the power of attorney ceases in times of incapacity of the principal.
