Power of Attorney (POA)

A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to choose someone you trust to make important decisions on your behalf if you cannot do so yourself. This person, referred to as your agent, can handle financial matters, healthcare decisions, and other responsibilities as you specify. The choice of your agent is crucial, as it ensures that your wishes are followed and your affairs are managed by someone you trust, providing peace of mind and protecting your interests.

  • Financial Management: Your agent can handle banking, investments, bill payments, and other financial matters.

  • Healthcare Decisions: If you cannot make medical decisions yourself, your agent can; your agent's power communicates your wishes.

  • Legal Affairs: Your agent can manage legal matters, such as signing documents and contracts on your behalf.

  • Customized Control: You can specify which powers your agent has, tailoring the POA to your needs.

  • Peace of Mind: Knowing someone you trust will manage your affairs ensures your wishes are respected and reduces stress for you and your loved ones.
