What You Need To Know About A Power Of Attorney

A power of attorney is a document that authorizes someone called the “attorney-in-fact” to make financial decisions on behalf of someone else. Identifying an attorney-in-fact years before you will need help with your financial concerns is wise. You and your family members can rest assured that a responsible person will be paying your bills on time and completing other tasks that support your financial interests.

Powers of attorney are frequently used to plan for situations in which the power-maker is unable to act. In the event you become incapacitated, a durable power of attorney can be put in place to attend to your financial affairs when you are no longer able to do so.

Having this and other estate planning documents on hand can help your family members make informed decisions at a difficult time. When your wishes are clearly stated in a well-written document, this takes the burden of uncertainty off your loved ones’ shoulders. You can depend on us to give you the honest, skilled advice you require to develop a legal document that allays your concerns.
