A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants another person the authority to make decisions on behalf of the patient. There are different types of POAs:
1. General POA: Grants broad powers to the appointed person to handle financial and legal matters. 2. Durable POA: Remains in effect even if the patient becomes incapacitated. 3. Limited or Specific POA: Grants powers for specific tasks or for a limited period.
