• the more comprehensive the power of attorney, the better
• prevents questions about the principal’s intent
• prevents delays in asset protection planning
• protects the agent from claims of financial abuse
• allows agents to talk to other agencies
• allows an agent to perform planning and transactions to make the principal eligible for public benefits
