Choosing Your Attorney in Fact for your Durable Power of Attorney
Leanna Hamill, an attorney in Massachusetts has posted a nice checklist of considerations for selecting your attorney-in-fact or agent under your durable power of attorney. Read it here .
A durable power of attorney is a document that allows you to select someone else to manage your financial affairs if you are unable to do so. The person you name to make such financial decisions for you is called an attorney-in-fact or agent.
A durable power of attorney can be effective immediately or effective upon your incapacity.
If it is effective upon your incapacity, it is called a springing durable power of attorney. You can choose how it becomes effective upon your incapacity -- whether a medical doctor needs to sign off or if a court must decide.
If your durable power of attorney does not have the word "durable" in the document title -- that means it is only effective during your capacity. Durable means that the document is effective during your incapacity whether temporary or permanent.
A durable power of attorney was also used to designate a health care agent to make health care decisions for you. If you have a durable power attorney for health care prepared and signed by you before 1992, it has expired and needs to be replaced by an advance health care directive in California.

Attorney means compensation for your personal injury. If anybody wants to claim for the injury then he needs to hire a personal injury lawyer who handle these cases and can help a person to get proper compensation.

I am wondering if any type of power of attorney in California allows one to receive an insurance claim check after the insured died
