If Walter becomes incompetent to manage his affairs,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option A is correct because if Walter has executed a durable power of attorney with a springing power, his chosen attorney-in-fact can step in and make decisions for him upon his incompetence. Option B is incorrect because a court would usually appoint a guardian or conservator, and not an immediate family member, to manage Walter's affairs. Option C is incorrect because Walter's will only controls the distribution of his assets after his death and does not authorize anyone to manage his affairs during his lifetime. Option D is incorrect because there is no indication that a trust has been set up, and even if it had, it is unlikely to be the best option for managing Walter's affairs if he becomes incompetent.
