When completing your durable power of attorney, the first set of questions will detail the parties involved. The principal is the person granting the powers to the attorney in fact to act on their behalf. This is where contact information for both parties is entered.
If the designated attorney in fact is unable to fulfill their duties, the principal may also name a successor that can take over those duties. That information is also entered in this section.
Article 2 of the durable power of attorney specifically details the affairs that the principal wishes the attorney in fact to take charge of. The principal can assign all of their affairs to the attorney in fact or select only specific matters to be handled. In most cases, all of a principal’s affairs are assigned to the attorney in fact.
After you complete and download your durable power of attorney, it will need to be signed by all parties named in the document. It should also be notarized and attested to by at least two witnesses.
