In a matter of speaking, an enduring power of attorney is the power given by someone to a specific person or persons (usually attorneys), to manage their financial affairs. Most of the time, this is done when someone is not capable of handling their day to day situation, but sometimes it is done in the short-term when a person is traveling.
