What are Durable Powers of Attorney and when do I need one?
These documents allow you to appoint someone you know and trust to make your personal health care and financial decisions even when you cannot. If you are incapacitated without these legal documents, besides it being difficult for your loved ones to assist with your care, you and your family could be involved in a proceeding known as a Curatorship. This is the court proceeding where a judge determines who should make these decisions for you under the ongoing supervision of the court.
