  1. What’s the difference between a will and a power of attorney? By: Russ Weninger Calgary Legal Wills Lawyer

  2. Introduction A will and a power of attorney are both legal documents that grant another party or person ownership or control over any of your property or decisions. But how are these two different?

  3. What is a will? As defined in The Free Dictionary by Farlex, a will is the legal instrument that permits a person, the testator, to make decisions on how his estate will be managed and distributed after his death. 

  4. What is a will? A will serves a variety of important purposes. It enables a person to  select his heirs rather than allowing the state laws of descent and distribution to choose the heirs,  who, although blood relatives, might be people the testator dislikes or with whom he is unacquainted. 

  5. What is a power of attorney? According to Legal Zoom, a power of attorney is a document you can use to appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf.

  6. What is a power of attorney? The person you designate is called an "attorney-in-fact." The appointment can be effective immediately or can become effective only if you are unable to make decisions on your own.
