In many cases in which a person becomes incapacitated, courts appoint outsiders to make decisions regarding the incapacitated person's financial affairs and health matters. The way to ensure that a person of your choosing who knows your wishes and will act on your behalf is to execute a power of attorney to designate an agent or attorney-in-fact.
