Massachusetts residents, plan for the future and protect your interests with this General Durable Springing Power of Attorney.

A "springing" Power of Attorney becomes effective only if you become incapacitated. You can grant your attorney-in-fact the power to deal with a number of matters for you, including:

• your real estate property,
• banking and financial transactions,
• stocks and bonds,
• personal property,
• insurance,
• pension and employment benefits,
• tax and legal matters,
• your business affairs and operations.

This Power of Attorney does NOT give your attorney-in-fact the authority to make health care or other medical decisions for you.

This Massachusetts General Durable Springing Power of Attorney form is available in MS Word format, and is easy to fill in and print. No need to buy additional copies - you and your spouse can each prepare a Power of Attorney with this form.
