As an experienced Rochester Estate Planning Lawyer, people often ask about a springing power of attorney. There are basically two types of powers of attorney. There is an immediate power of attorney that goes in effect when you and your agent sign it. The second is a springing power of attorney, which does not go into effect until a future event such as when a doctor certifies that you are incapacitated. Most people prefer the immediate power of attorney in order to make things less complicated.
