Pop quiz: what’s the difference between a general and a springing power of attorney?
A general power of attorney kicks in right away, giving your agent authority to act on your behalf immediately. A springing power of attorney, on the other hand, only activates if you become incapacitated, which can be helpful if you want control until something unexpected happens.
Understanding these differences is key to making sure your plan protects you and your loved ones exactly the way you want.
