Planning for Financial Decisions if You Cannot Act
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone to manage financial and property matters while you are alive if you are unavailable or unable to act. It does not cover personal or medical decisions, which are usually addressed in a Personal Directive.
Without a Power of Attorney, loved ones may need to go to court to manage your finances if you lose capacity. Planning ahead gives you more control over who steps in and how.
We help clients understand the difference between general and enduring powers of attorney, choose the right scope of authority, and prepare documents that are properly signed and tailored to their circumstances.
