POWERS OF ATTORNEY

An attorney-in-fact has the power to make legal, financial and medical decisions for the principal when the principal is unable to manage their own affairs. A Durable Power of Attorney, (DPOA), functions the same as a Power of Attorney, with one major difference, a DPOA will remains in effect should the principal become incapacitated. Both types terminate upon the principal's death.
