Comprehensive & Seasoned Power of Attorney Services

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone to act on your behalf in the event of an emergency. This individual (known as the “attorney-in-fact”) can manage your finances, make medical decisions, and even sign legal documents on your behalf.

Different Types of Power of Attorney

General Power of Attorney: Grants broad powers to the agent to act on behalf of the principal in various financial, legal, and personal matters.
Limited or Special Power of Attorney: Provides specific powers to the agent for a particular purpose or within a defined timeframe.
Durable Power of Attorney: Remains in effect even if the principal becomes incapacitated or unable to make decisions.
Springing Power of Attorney: Becomes effective only upon the occurrence of a specific event or condition, such as the principal's incapacity.

Why Is Having a Power of Attorney Important?

Having a Power of Attorney in place is essential to protecting your assets and wishes in the event of an emergency. Without a POA, your family may be unable to make decisions on your behalf, and your assets may be subject to probate court proceedings.
