The powers granted to your power of attorney depend on the type of power of attorney that you set up during estate planning. Some different powers of attorney include:
- A limited power of attorney who can only perform certain actions which you specify such as selling your house.
- A general power of attorney who can perform many actions which you outline such as making medical or business decisions.
- A durable power of attorney who, unlike the two types of power of attorney described above, remains effective after incapacitation.
Designating a power of attorney, and especially a durable power of attorney, is an essential part of proper estate planning.
