Powers of Attorney
- a long history
"Powers of attorney
have been used for thousands of years. Perhaps the first documented
power of attorney dates from 561 B.C. in Mesopotamia. This
one-paragraph document was between two brothers, empowering one to act
on the other's behalf with respect to the business property left to
them by their father" Washington Post - October,

Incapacity
Incapacitation is a
possibility for people as they grow older. A durable power of attorney
assigned to a trustworthy and responsible individual can help alleviate
worries that health problems will prevent you from handling financial
matters at some point in the future. Unfortunately, incapacitation can
happen to anyone at any time. Details

Durable Power of Attorney
- How durable?
A durable power of
attorney generally ends upon your death. That means the
designated agent will not be allowed to wrap up your affairs
after death unless you appoint him or her to be the executor
in your will. Power of Attorney
