There are two types of powers of attorney
for California residents that are often used with trusts and
wills. One of them is for health care, and allows someone else
to make health care decisions for you. For information about
this type of document, click here: Advance
Health Care Directive
The power of attorney for financial purposes deals only
with financial matters, such as writing checks for someone else,
filing income tax returns for someone else, or managing
investments. For information about this type of power of attorney,
