Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf. This can be crucial if you become unable to handle financial, medical, or legal matters due to illness, absence, or incapacity. Having a properly drafted POA ensures that your affairs are managed according to your wishes.
You may need a Power of Attorney if:
You want to authorize a trusted individual to handle financial or legal matters on your behalf.
You are planning for illness, disability, or aging and want to ensure continuity in decision-making.
You travel frequently or will be out of the country and need someone to manage your affairs.
You want to designate a healthcare power of attorney to make medical decisions if you become incapacitated.
You need assistance with real estate transactions, such as buying, selling, or managing property.
You want to avoid court-appointed guardianship, which can be costly and time-consuming.
