Durable Power of Attorney

A Legal document that enables an individual to designate another person, called the attorney-in-fact, to act on his/her behalf, even in the event the individual becomes disabled or incapacitated. An "advance directive" (sometimes called a "healthcare directive") combines a Living will and Durable Power of Attorney, either in one document or two separate ones.
