[WSBAPT] Durable POA question

[Diane J. Kiepe]

They are specifically allowed to be one document but many practitioners use two separate documents for varying reasons, two of which are, the Agent for Finances may not be the same preferred Agent for Health Care and when using the power of attorney for health care, all the language related to finances is unnecessary (and vice versa).

Good luck.

Can the durable POA for finances and for health care decisions be in the same document, or must they be separate documents?
