Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of power of attorney?
There are several types: General POA (broad authority over financial and legal matters), Limited/Special POA (authority for specific tasks or time periods), Durable POA (remains effective if you become incapacitated), Healthcare POA (authority over medical decisions), and Springing POA (only takes effect upon a specific event, usually incapacity).
When does a power of attorney take effect?
A standard POA takes effect immediately upon signing. A 'springing' POA only takes effect when a specified condition is met, typically incapacitation. A durable POA remains in effect even if the principal becomes incapacitated. All POAs end upon the death of the principal.
Can I revoke a power of attorney?
