Re: Power of Attorney vrs durable power of Attorney

A durable power of attorney survives the incapacity of its principal. In other words, if the writer has a stroke and can no longer communicate, the agent (or attorney-in-fact) can still use it. Without the durable function, the standard power of attorney should no longer be effective.
