Durable Power of Attorney

As my mother's durable POA, may I appoint a successor in case something happens to me?

The document reads:

...and in connection therewith to exercise general powers to do the following:

17. Successor Attorney in Fact:

To appoint a successor attorney in fact with general powers to act hereunder, including, the power to appoint a successor; and from time to time to delegate any powers and authorities under this Durable Power of Attorney.

Re: Durable Power of Attorney

You probably have the powers you propose. However, a thorough examination of the entire document would be needed to make a determination with any degree of certainty.

Good Luck
