Powers of Attorney

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, which are clearly defined within the document. Powers of attorney can be designed to address financial issues and 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 disability.

A power of attorney is an effective way of planning for disability particularly in smaller estates. However a power of attorney is only effective while you are alive. Once you die a power of attorney is terminated by law. That is why it is important to have a will or living trust drafted as a part of your integrated estate plan.
