The Difference Between a Power of Attorney and a Conservatorship
A power of attorney is a legal document that permits someone to designate another person or corporation to manage their affairs on their behalf. The principle is the person who creates a power of attorney, and the attorney-in-fact is the person who is given control over the experiences. A power of attorney is only valid if the principal is alive, and a mentally competent principal can only execute it.
A conservatorship may be necessary if a power of attorney or the agent is acting unlawfully.
