A durable power of attorney means that the attorney who wrote the will for you is your legal guardian in case you become incapacitated and can't make decisions yourself.

What is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is the process of designating who will receive your assets in the event of your death or incapacitation.

Estate planning vs Living will:
Basically, an estate plan is a broader plan of action for your assets that may apply during your life as well as after your death. A will, on the other hand, dictates where your assets will go after you die, who will be the guardian of your children and more.
