Also not a lawyer but also going through family stuff right now.
There can be two different types of PoA that I know of. One is a financial PoA, another is a medical PoA. Then there is sometimes something called a “springing” clause, which defines when the PoA goes into effect. For example if the attending physician determines the person is no longer competent to manage their own financial or medical decisions. I would guess Feinstein qualifies for both of those.
And of course you would have hopefully created that PoA while you were still healthy, but it remains inactive until the condition of the springing clause is met.
