Legal Question in Administrative Law in California

The differences are huge. A power of attorney allows someone to act on your behalf in matters that would require your signature for approval. Sometimes the power of attorney can be drawn for limited purposes. It is not advisable to execute a power of attorney unless there is anticipated that it will be necessary for a particular purpose. You may cancel either a power of attorney or durable power of attorney at any time. The durable power of attorney is advisable at any time because it tells everyone what you want done in case of an emergency when otherwise you would be unable to tell anyone that you want extraordinary efforts made to keep you alive or not. It tells everyone how you want your services conducted and who will carry out your directives. There are forms you can review that provide different actions you want carried out. The California Directive is an excellent example and you should examine it to determine what you want to consider as far as directions you want carried out. Look it over to see how it would help you carry out your wishes in an emergency and directing who should make final decisions for you when you would otherwise be unable to tell anyone.
