To grant his nephew the ability to act on his behalf, George Smith would most likely need a durable power of attorney. This document would give Brandon the legal authority to make decisions and take actions on George's behalf, even if George becomes incapacitated or unable to make decisions for himself. A letter of last instruction, will, revocable trust, and irrevocable trust are all important estate planning documents but do not grant authority for someone to act on behalf of another person.
