ANSWER
A Power of Attorney document authorizes a person (your “attorney”) to make decisions on your behalf in the event that you cannot make or communicate those decisions yourself. There are two types of Power of Attorney:

• Power of Attorney for Personal Care, which deals with matters concerning your health and welfare; and
• Continuing Power of Attorney for Property (sometimes called a “Continuing Power of Attorney for the Management of Property”), which deals with matters concerning your finances and assets.
