The idea
An accident at 35 can leave your family unable to touch your bank account.
What it does
A lasting or durable power of attorney lets someone you choose manage your finances (and sometimes health decisions) if you can't. Without one, families may need a slow, costly court process. Names and rules differ by country.
Predict first
