Ingrid is single with no dependents. She has been in the hospital with a coma for the last 2 weeks. Her bills are piling up and her rent on her apartment is due. Who is legally empowered to take care of her banking and bill paying while she is incapacitated?

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A) Whoever is named as her executor.

B) Whoever is named in her living will.

C) Whoever is named in her durable power of attorney.

D) Whoever is named in her durable health care power of attorney.

In this example, we would determine who can take care of Ingrid's banking and bill paying while she is incapacitated based on who is named in her durable power of attorney. A power of attorney is a document that gives someone else the power to act on your behalf.  Normally, an ordinary power of attorney automatically ends when the person loses mental capacity. However, a durable power of attorney stays in effect if you become incapacitated or are unable to handle matters on your own.
