Most Power of Attorney (POA) documents require that the document becomes "activated" when a physician examines the individual (also known as the "principal") and deems him or her incapacitated. If the principal is unable to advocate for himself or herself due to incapacity, then the "agent" would advocate on the principal's behalf.
