Durable Power of Attorney Definition: Two Types

Powers of Attorney come in two types.  The first is the Durable Power of Attorney.  The Durable Power of Attorney means that the Power of Attorney stays in affect if you become incapacitated and unable to handle your own affairs.

If a Power of Attorney is not Durable, then as soon as you become unable to handle your own affairs, the Power of Attorney stops.
