What is the name of your state? Florida.
My husband and I are hesitant to sign our durable-power-of-attorney documents for each other. How powerful is a POA? For example, would my husband be able to drain our bank accounts and skip town while I'm enjoying a pleasant afternoon on the river, or vice versa? Might we build a clause into the POA that would give it a start date, i.e., only when I'm diagnosed comatose by a doctor does the POA go into effect?
