Incorporating Powers of Attorney into your estate plan is an important step in safeguarding your financial and healthcare decisions.

Incorporating Powers of Attorney into your estate plan is an important step in safeguarding your financial and healthcare decisions. A Power of Attorney (POA) allows you to designate a trusted individual to act on your behalf if you become unable to manage your affairs because of age, illness, or injury. There are two primary types: a financial POA, which grants authority over your assets and financial matters, and a healthcare POA, which empowers your agent to make medical decisions in line with your wishes. By establishing these documents, you can ensure your preferences are respected, avoid unnecessary court involvement, and provide clarity for your loved ones during challenging times. Proactively creating Powers of Attorney as part of your estate plan offers peace of mind and comprehensive protection for your future.
