While you may use a statutory Durable Power of Attorney signing before a notary, if the person granting it may need help due to current or future disability, they may want to grant additional powers or give additional direction. For this you will want to consult an elder law attorney, You can find one near you on the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org).
