What is Power of Attorney?
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that lets you appoint someone you trust to act on your behalf if you’re unable to. It can cover financial matters, healthcare decisions, or both. A durable power of attorney stays valid even if you lose capacity, while a medical power of attorney ensures your healthcare choices are carried out according to your wishes.
Having the right POA in place means you and your family can move forward with confidence, knowing that important decisions won’t be left uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Power of Attorney
What are the different types of Power of Attorney?
There are several types, including durable power of attorney, medical power of attorney, financial power of attorney, general power of attorney, limited power of attorney, and springing power of attorney. Each serves a different purpose depending on whether you need ongoing, healthcare-specific, financial, or time-limited authority.
How much does it cost to get a Power of Attorney in Oregon?
The cost varies based on complexity and whether you work with a power of attorney lawyer. While DIY forms exist, they often leave out important protections. Working with an attorney ensures your POA is legally valid, customized to your needs, and enforceable if challenged.
Can a Power of Attorney be revoked?
Yes. As long as you are mentally competent, you can revoke your power of attorney at any time by creating a written revocation and notifying all parties involved. An attorney can help ensure the revocation is legally recognized.
What is the difference between Power of Attorney and Guardianship?
Power of attorney is granted voluntarily while you are still competent, allowing you to choose who will act on your behalf. Guardianship, on the other hand, is court-ordered when someone can no longer make decisions and has not set up a POA in advance.
Does a Power of Attorney end at death?
Yes. A power of attorney only applies while you are alive. After death, authority passes to your executor or personal representative as outlined in your will or through probate.
