## Overview

Draft and validate a durable power of attorney for financial and legal matters in the USA.

## Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the *USA Durable Power of Attorney* skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

## Example conversation

**You:** I need a durable power of attorney so my spouse can manage our finances if I become unable to.

**Agent:** I'll draft a durable power of attorney using the skill's requirements. I'll include you as principal, your spouse as agent, a clear grant of authority (e.g. real property, financial institutions, taxes), durability language so it stays in effect if you're incapacitated, and an effective date. I'll run **poa_check** to confirm all required elements are present before you have it reviewed by an attorney.

## Output excerpt

### Durable power of attorney excerpt

**Principal and agent** — I, [Name], appoint [Spouse Name] as my attorney-in-fact (agent) to act on my behalf in all matters described in this document.

**Durability** — This power of attorney is durable and shall remain in effect if I become incapacitated or unable to manage my affairs.

**Grant of authority** — My agent may manage real property, conduct banking and financial institution transactions, handle stocks and bonds, and deal with tax matters as I could do myself.

## Extension and validation

The skill includes **poa_check**, which validates the durable power of attorney draft for: principal designation, agent (attorney-in-fact) designation, grant of authority (e.g. real property, financial, banking), durability language (effective during incapacity), and effective date. Run it after drafting to confirm nothing is missing before execution.
