Powers of Attorney

A power of attorney (POA) allows you to designate a trusted person to manage your affairs if you become temporarily or permanently unable to do so yourself.

Medical Power of Attorney

This document allows you to name a health care agent to make medical decisions on your behalf only if a doctor determines you are incapacitated. It ensures your medical preferences are actively defended by someone who has your best interests at heart.

Financial Power of Attorney (Statutory Durable POA)

A financial power of attorney grants a trusted individual the authority to manage your financial and legal affairs. This can be tailored to your comfort level and can include tasks such as:

• Paying monthly bills, mortgages, and managing bank accounts.
• Handling real estate transactions or property management.
• Managing insurance policies, government benefits, and taxes.

Incapacity Planning Explained Simply

Incapacity planning is about preparation, not prediction. It ensures that if an unexpected illness or accident occurs, your life keeps moving forward seamlessly. Having these documents in place avoids the need for an expensive, restrictive, court-ordered adult guardianship.
