All you have to do is specify when and for what purpose you are designating a person or person with power of attorney and that will specified and limit scope of when and what decisions that individual or individuals can make.
In most cases power of attorney is used in a very limited scope for making decisions on issues such as medical decision of you are incapacitated.
A power of attorney agreement is a contract and you can specify the scope and limitations of that contract which is usually part of a broader document like a will or trust.
