Description
Grants another person authority to act in your behalf. Gives legal permission to someone else to act for you when you are unable to do so. A special power of attorney called "durable" is different from the regular one. The "durable" continues the agency relationship past when the patient is unable to help themselves (or they become incapacitated). Helps the patient to have legal representation inexpensively.
Rights Associated
To act in your behalf when absent; to act in your behalf when you are incapacitated; to act in your behalf in a certain specific situation. The first power of attorney takes over immediately as soon as the durable power of attorney is executed. The second "springs" into effect whenever a particular or specific occurrence happens, possibly like the inability of the patient to help themselves.
Who it affects & how
This type of document specifies a certain individual to make decisions for you when you are either not there to make them for yourself or unable to make them. Such as in the event of a hospitalization or surgery. It is to give help to loved ones when difficult decisions arise and you want your desires to be carried out. The durable power of attorney or powers of attorney have been created in order to help deal with those decisions that would either involve the patient's property management or their health care.
