Unless you are absolutely sure about what you're doing and fully informed about the consequences, you should consult an attorney. A POA grants sweeping powers to your attorney-in-fact. They will have complete access to your assets with no oversight and will need to be honest and diligent about keeping good records. You need to decide whether the POA will be general, which will expire if you become incapacitated, or durable, which will remain in effect if you become incapacitated. Your attorney-in-fact should keep a record of all the money coming in and all the money going out by their hand. They must be trustworthy, organized, intelligent, reliable and act in a professional manner where your finances and property are concerned. An attorney-in-fact who mismanages the assets of an elderly person can cause a disqualification for benefits. Most important, if you should become unable to make your own decisions they must be someone who will act in your best interest.
