The Florida Durable Power of Attorney Form is used to grant someone else, known as the agent or attorney-in-fact, the legal authority to make decisions and act on behalf of the person creating the power of attorney, referred to as the principal. This document allows the agent to handle various financial and legal matters, including managing bank accounts, paying bills, signing documents, and making healthcare decisions, in the event that the principal becomes incapacitated or unable to make decisions on their own. It ensures that someone trusted is appointed to handle important affairs when the principal is unable to do so themselves.
