Top ten posts about Enduring Power of Attorney

Although Enduring Powers of Attorney go by different names in different places - such as Durable Power of Attorney, Continuing Power of Attorney, and Power of Attorney for Property - the general concepts are the same. I find that they are much less well known than Wills, likely because they haven't been around as long. I'm attaching a list of the top ten posts on my blog about P of A's, for people who are trying to learn more about them.
