Durable Power of Attorney

A Durable Power of Attorney is a document in which an individual (the Principal) designates another person (the attorney in fact) to manage their affairs even in the event the principal becomes incapacitated or disabled. Common powers conferred include: buying and selling assets including real estate, signing contracts, performing banking transactions, and buying and selling securities.  At the time of signing, the principal must be at least 18 years of age and have capacity to sign the document.
