Yes, Michigan law allows for the creation of a durable power of attorney. It can be broad or it can be as specific as you desire. Being a "durable" power of attorney means that to the extent that the agent you select is authorized by the document that agent can act on your behalf within the range of powers granted even if you became incapacitated. However, unless you are incapacitated, you retain the right to revoke the power of attorney if you desire to do so. You may want to discuss this with an attorney to make sure you give him the authority to carry out your wishes.
