Planning for the Unexpected
A will speaks after death. A power of attorney protects you while you are living, by naming someone you trust to act for you if you cannot. Without one, your family may have to ask a court to appoint a guardian, which takes time, money, and a public hearing.
Financial Power of Attorney
A financial power of attorney authorizes an agent to handle money and property: paying bills, managing accounts, filing taxes, and dealing with real estate. A durable power of attorney is written to stay in effect if you become incapacitated, which is when it matters most.
Health Care Decisions
Separate documents cover medical decisions. A health care power of attorney names someone to speak with doctors on your behalf, and a living will records your wishes about life-sustaining treatment. Together they spare your family from guessing at a difficult time.
Choosing the Right Agent
Your agent should be trustworthy, organized, and willing to serve. You can name a backup, limit the agent’s authority, or decide when the power takes effect. We explain each choice and draft documents that fit your family.
A power of attorney is usually part of a complete estate plan along with a will or trust.

Common Questions
What happens if I become incapacitated without a power of attorney?
Your family may need to petition a court for a guardianship to manage your finances or health care, a process that is slower, more costly, and public.
Does a power of attorney still work after death?
No. A power of attorney ends at death. After that, your will or trust and your personal representative or trustee take over.
Can I change or cancel my power of attorney?
Yes. As long as you have capacity, you can revoke it or sign a new one. Let your agent and any institutions holding a copy know.
