The Last Will and Testament avoids confusion and can help to avoid long court battles. Durable Power of Attorney A Durable Power of Attorney is a document in which one individual appoints another individual as his/her "attorney-in-fact," enabling said appointee to make decisions on his/her behalf should something happen to incapacitate that person. A Durable Power of Attorney can be drafted to include everything from the paying of the monthly bills to investing on the incapacitated person's behalf. Or, a Durable Power of Attorney can be as narrow in scope as to limit the "attorney's" power to that of simply signing the paperwork during the sale of a home.

That is, a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare names an "agent" who accepts the responsibility of making medical decisions on an individual's behalf, based on that individual's specified instructions, when that person becomes unable to make the decisions for him/herself.
