This is when someone would authorise another person to exercise power on behalf of someone at a later date if they became medically unfit. It would also give the power to act as next of kin or nearest relative in the case that an urgent medical decision was required that the person who made such a power could not execute a decision themselves. This varies from country to country and has different meanings also in different countries.
Added: Also - any powers conferred on the designated POA by the document ceases, and becomes null, void, and inoperable at the instant of the grantor's death.
