FAQ: Powers of Attorney
What's the difference between a will and a power of attorney?+
A will takes effect when you die. A power of attorney takes effect during your lifetime, typically if you lose mental capacity. You need both for a complete estate plan.
Can I name different people for finances and health care?+
Yes. Most jurisdictions let you appoint one person for property/financial decisions and a different person for personal-care or medical decisions. A lawyer can match the right structure to your family.
When does a power of attorney expire?+
It typically ends on the death of the grantor, when the grantor revokes it, or on a date specified in the document. Some POAs are limited to a single transaction.
