TL;DR Summary

Senator Dianne Feinstein, 90, has given power of attorney to her daughter, raising questions about her health and decision-making abilities. Power of attorney is a legal document that allows one person to act on behalf of another. Feinstein's daughter, Katherine Feinstein, 66, now has the authority to handle legal and financial matters for her mother. This comes after a moment of confusion during a Senate vote last month. Among the issues being handled by Katherine is a family dispute over the senator's beach house. Feinstein's health and the implications of the power of attorney have sparked concerns, although it is not an uncommon arrangement, especially for wealthy individuals.
