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.
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.
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.
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.
