What’s the difference? 💭

Enduring Power of Attorney: An Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal document that lets you choose someone you trust to handle your money and property if you ever can’t do it yourself. They can do things like pay your bills, manage your bank accounts, or sell property on your behalf. But this role ends the moment you pass away. Once that happens, the Power of Attorney becomes void, and your attorney no longer has any authority.

Personal Directive: A Personal Directive is similar, but it focuses on health and personal decisions instead of finances. You choose someone to speak for you if you can’t make medical or personal choices on your own. They might decide on treatments, living arrangements, or comfort care. Just like the Power of Attorney, a Personal Directive also becomes void when you die, because those decisions are no longer needed.

Executor: When someone passes away, the executor named in their will takes over. The executor’s job is to look after the estate, collecting assets, paying off debts, and distributing what’s left to the people named in the will. Their authority only begins after death, once the Power of Attorney and Personal Directive are no longer in effect.
