Protecting What Matters Most
A Power of Attorney Designed for You
A POA isn't a single, generic form. What it should say depends entirely on what you want your agent to be able to do, and when that authority should take effect.
Financial and Property Authority
A financial power of attorney can give an agent authority over banking, property, and financial decisions, but that authority can be broad or narrowly defined depending on your wishes and comfort level. Some clients want authority to begin immediately, while others prefer it to take effect under specific conditions.
Health Care Decision-Making
A health care power of attorney addresses a different set of decisions entirely, authorizing someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you're unable to do so. This document works alongside, but is distinct from other estate planning tools, like wills and trusts.
Choosing the Right Agent and Defining Authority
The person you name in a POA document is a matter of serious importance. An agent should be someone you trust completely, and the scope of their authority should be defined clearly enough to avoid confusion or misuse later. A power of attorney should also be coordinated with your broader estate plan, so all of your documents work together rather than creating gaps or conflicts.
