	Power of Attorney
		A “Nondurable” Power of Attorney is used for a specific transaction, like the closing on the sale of property, or the handling of financial affairs while the Principal is traveling outside of the country.
		A “Durable” Power of Attorney enables the Agent to act for the Principal even after the Principal is not mentally competent or physically able to make decisions. The “Durable” Power of Attorney may be used immediately, and is effective until it is revoked by the Principal, or until the Principal’s death.
		A “Springing” Power of Attorney becomes effective at a future time. That is, it depends on the happenings of a specific event chosen by the Principal (for example, an illness or disability). A “Springing” Power of Attorney remains in effect until the Principal’s death, or until revoked by a court.
