Planning ahead by preparing a Durable Power of Attorney and a Health Care Power of Attorney while you still have mental capacity is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your future. These legal documents ensure that trusted individuals of your choosing can make financial and medical decisions on your behalf if you’re ever unable to do so, either because of age, illness, or injury. Without them, your loved ones may face costly and time-consuming court proceedings to gain the authority to act on your behalf, potentially delaying critical care or financial management. By taking the time now to set up these powers of attorney, you maintain control over who will make decisions for you and provide peace of mind for both you and your family.
