A durable power of attorney is an important legal document that can give your designated agent authority to manage your personal and financial affairs if you become incapacitated. This can include paying bills, managing investments, preparing tax returns, and even nominating a guardian for your children.

Without a power of attorney in place, your loved ones may have to go through the court system to be appointed as your guardian, which can be a time-consuming and expensive process. By having a durable power of attorney in place, you can ensure that your affairs will be taken care of by someone you trust in the event that you are unable to do so yourself.
