Enduring Power of Attorney

An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) is a legal document that enables you to appoint another person or persons to make personal, health and financial decisions on your behalf if you become unable to make your own decisions.  You can appoint different people to make your health decisions and financial decisions, or you can appoint one person to make both health and financial decisions. Also, you can appoint more than one person and ask them to make decisions together. You can also appoint someone to make your financial decisions even while you still legally have capacity to do so yourself (general power of attorney).
