Powers of Attorney

Explanation from a Pembroke Pines Lawyer

A power of attorney is a legal document in which the maker of the document gives another person legal authority to act on his or her behalf under certain circumstances. The various circumstances under which the empowered individual may act are clearly defined within the document. Powers of attorney can be designed to address financial issues as well as health care issues. By the use of a properly drawn, durable power of attorney, you can authorize a trusted person to make financial and or health care decisions for you if you are unable to, due to sickness and / or disability.

A power of attorney is an effective way of planning for disability particularly in smaller estates. A power of attorney is only effective, however, while you are alive, and once you die, this power is terminated by law. For this reason, it is important to have a will or living trust drafted as a part of your integrated estate plan. I have been drafting powers of attorney for more than 40 years. I am committed to drafting your power of attorney so that it is not just state of the art and legally compliant, but understandable to the non-lawyer.
