The Connecticut General (Financial) Power of Attorney is the non-durable version of a POA dedicated to transferring powers related to one’s finances. Non-durable essentially means that it will become void once the principal enters into a state where they no longer have the capacity to make sound decisions. To assign someone the legal right to perform tasks in your name, the principal will have to identify their attorney-in-fact within the form, disclose the authorities they wish to convey, and endorse the instrument as necessary.
