A Durable Financial Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants someone else (an “agent” or “attorney-in-fact”) the authority to manage your financial affairs and make decisions on your behalf. The term “durable” in this context means that the power of attorney remains effective even if you become incapacitated or unable to make decisions for yourself. This distinguishes it from a regular power of attorney, which might become void if you become incapacitated.
