Plan for the future and protect your interests with a General Durable Power of Attorney for the Commonwealth of Virginia. This is a "springing" Power of Attorney, which becomes effective only if you become incapacitated. You may choose to grant your attorney-in-fact the power to deal with:

• real estate,
  
• banking and financial transactions,
  
• stocks and bonds,
  
• personal property,
  
• insurance,
  
• retirement plan,
  
• social security,
  
• employment benefits,
  
• tax matters,
  
• legal matters,
  
• business operations.

This Power of Attorney does NOT give your attorney-in-fact the authority to make health care or other medical decisions for you.
