What Is a Power of Attorney?

This legal document allows you to appoint someone to act as your agent or attorney-in-fact. Your agent will have the authority to make decisions on your behalf, such as managing your finances, paying bills, and signing legal documents.

There are several advantages to establishing a Power of Attorney. These include:

  • Peace of mind: By establishing a Power of Attorney, you can ensure that your financial and legal affairs will be managed according to your wishes if you cannot make decisions for yourself.
  • Flexibility: You can specify the scope of your agent's authority in the Power of Attorney document, and you can also designate alternate agents in case your first choice is unavailable.
  • Avoiding court-appointed guardianship: If you become unable to make decisions for yourself and you do not have a Power of Attorney in place, a court may appoint a guardian to manage your affairs. A Power of Attorney can help you avoid court-appointed guardianship.
