Durable power of attorney is the correct answer.

Durable power of attorney, also known as POA, is one of the most important legal documents. This document is created by a principal to appoint a person (close friend, family member, or trusted attorney) to act on his or her behalf making decisions about finances, health and legal matters. Only after incapacitation, a durable power of attorney can become active.
