Does the power of attorney appoint someone to handle their affairs . Should everyone who has responsibilities to others always have this form filled out and should family be clued into who is appointed ? How do we say politely that we need to make sure their affairs are in order without hurting their feelings ?

A Power of Attorney allows someone to act on another behalf. Once the person is incapacitated, they can't give anyone Power of Attorney. If a Power of Attorney existed BEFORE the person became incapacitated, it would still be valid. If not, someone could apply to the court to be named the person's guardian. This person would have the same authority as if a Power of Attorney had been given.

Make a living will or have an attorney draw up a will spelling out the who what when how of your care and the care for your body once you die.
Even then it can be contested unless it is made ironclad.
