Answer:

There are different types of powers of attorney: general, durable, and limited. A general power of attorney gives the agent broad authority over the principal's assets while they are alive and not incapacitated. A durable power of attorney remains effective even if the principal becomes incapacitated. A limited power of attorney restricts the agent's authority to specific actions, allowing them to handle particular matters when the principal is unavailable or unable to act.
