Taking into consideration the myriad of reasons and circumstances which might trigger the thoughts of a necessity for such a document, this is virtually an impossible question respond to.

Additionally -- this site is probably NOT the best venue in which seek legal advice on a such a gravely important matter as this. Consult with a good, reputable attorney and discuss the situation which makes you feel that executing such a document might be in your interest.

A general Durable Power of Attorney provides the attorney-in-fact with broad powers. However, a person can execute a Power of Attorney that specifically limits the powers and duties of the attorney-in-fact. It can be tailored to exactly meet the needs of the principal and it should be drafted by an attorney. A separate health care proxy that names a different individual could be drafted at the same time by the same attorney who can make certain the desires of the principal have been properly expressed and addressed and the powers of the two agents do not overlap.

Must you notarize the POA of an incompetent person?

A Power of Attorney is customarily notarized. However, the bigger question is the validity of a Power of Attorney that is executed by an incompetent person. In general, it is not valid, as the person does not have the capacity to grant the powers to another. Therefore, if there is reason to execute a Power of Attorney (such as, in anticipation of potentially dangerous surgery), it should be done prior to the event that could lead to incompetence.

The fact that there is a will doesn't matter. The power of attorney is valid until the death of the person it is associated with, or it is revoked, whichever comes first.
