What Is a Durable Power of Attorney?

A Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) is a legal document that allows you to designate a trusted person, known as your agent, to manage your financial, legal, or personal affairs if you become incapacitated. Unlike a standard power of attorney, a durable one remains valid even if you lose the ability to make decisions.

This essential document is a cornerstone of a comprehensive estate plan. It ensures your bills are paid, investments are managed, and legal obligations are met without court intervention or delays.

Why You Need a Durable Power of Attorney

Without a Durable Power of Attorney, your loved ones may have to go through an expensive and time-consuming guardianship process to make decisions on your behalf. Having one in place saves time, reduces stress, and gives you control over who will handle your affairs if the unexpected happens.

At Anton Legal Group, we carefully tailor each document to your specific needs. Whether you need a general, limited, or springing DPOA, our attorneys will explain each option clearly and help you make informed choices.
