Durable Power of Attorney for Financial Matters
Implementing a power of attorney for important financial decisions will help protect your interests in the face of unexpected events, such as a mental or physical incapacity, whether short or long term. The Durable Power of Attorney for Finances will allow your chosen agent to make financial decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated, or are unable for any reason to manage your financial affairs.

When you have a living trust, these powers are also given to the trustee to make decisions for you if you are incapacitated. Protecting your interests in the face of unexpected events is what a successful estate plan must accomplish.
