An Illinois durable power of attorney is a statutory form that allows a person to select someone else to act in their benefit for financial-related decision-making. The term “durable” refers to the form remaining valid even if the person who handed over power becomes incapacitated or mentally not able to speak for themselves. It is recommended to only trust this designation to someone that can be trusted.
