A Power of Attorney is a legal relationship that can be set up so that it is enacted immediately, or upon the event of incapacitation. It is extremely important to appoint a Power of Attorney to avoid decisions being made for you that may have results you did not intend.

If your loved one is already incapacitated and did not appoint a Power of Attorney, the court may appoint a guardian or conservator to carry out the affairs. While a court will usually appoint a spouse or other close family member, it may also look to evidence concerning what is in the incapacitated person’s wishes and best interests.
