If Walter becomes incompetent to manage his affairs:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Walter becomes incompetent to manage his affairs, his chosen attorney-in-fact can make decisions for him if he appointed the person in a durable power of attorney with a springing power to become effective upon Walter's incompetence. However, if Walter had no power of attorney in place, a court will appoint a guardian to manage his affairs. Therefore, both options (a) and (b) are correct. Walter's will and executor/executrix will only come into effect after his death, and will not help manage his affairs while he is alive and incompetent.
