DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY
DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY
Power of Attorney in Florida
A Durable Power of Attorney is a document in which you appoint an
agent who is given the legal authority to manage your financial affairs during your life. An agent is granted a wide scope of authority to make decisions regarding a variety of financial decisions and even decisions regarding your property. A durable power of attorney is “durable” because it survives incapacity. For example, you may choose an agent under a durable power of attorney to continue to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated as an alternative to going through the long and expensive process of having a guardian appointed by the Court.

Why do you need a Durable Power of Attorney?
Durable Power of Attorney are invaluable legal instruments, typically established as a proactive measure. These documents serve a critical purpose, particularly during periods of physical or mental incapacity.
In Florida, the absence of a Durable Power of Attorney necessitates the court’s appointment of a Guardian to represent the incapacitated individual. However, guardianship proceedings are time-consuming, expensive, and add significant stress to the family. Therefore, having a Durable Power of Attorney in place not only provides peace of mind but also avoids the burdens associated with guardianship proceedings.
