My financial adviser told me I wanted a medical power of attorney and one for financial issues. Could be the same person but doesn't have to be. I guess it might differ depending on the state you live in. And I'm sure there are differences for folks who live in other countries.

I'm realizing now that I had not thought about who would be the executor of the will. I guess I would choose the same person as the financial power of attorney. Though I need to discuss it all with her first...
