A Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) is a legal document that allows an individual to act as an agent on behalf of the principal, even in the event of subsequent incapacity or disability of the principal.
Incapacity refers to the lack of legal, physical, or intellectual power or ability to perform a task or make decisions. It is relevant in various legal contexts, such as contract law, where a person must have the capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
