An Ohio durable power of attorney allows an individual to grant the legal authority to an agent to control all or a part of their finances. Assigning authority through a “durable” form means that the individual’s affairs are managed according to their wishes, even if they become mentally incapacitated. The principal selects the agent’s authority and restrictions in this document.
