Choosing someone to act as your attorney in an enduring power of attorney should be done carefully. You will want to select someone you trust. This person will be able to handle your finances in the same way you would be able to manage your finances if you could do so.
In addition, the person you choose must want to do this for you and be capable of handling the task. That means discussing the enduring power of attorney beforehand, ensuring that the preferred attorney is able and willing to handle the immense responsibility of taking care of your finances when you cannot.
If you do not want to appoint a person, you can appoint your financial institution. Alternatively, you can appoint both. Your financial institution may charge a fee.
When reviewing your enduring power of attorney—which should be done periodically, perhaps when reviewing your will—take some time to consider whether the person or institution you have appointed is still the best choice.
