Powers Of Attorney

A Power of Attorney is a document that authorizes someone you trust to manage your affairs and make decisions on your behalf in the event of physical or mental incapacity. Health issues can affect anyone, and eventually affect everyone. The time to make such plans is before you imagine you will need them. The person you appoint to take care of your affairs is called an “attorney” but this individual doesn’t have to be a lawyer. You can choose anyone you want as long as they are over 18 years of age. There are a variety of ways Power of Attorney instructions can delegate responsibilities, whether for managing your health, personal care or property; the proper choices will depend on your needs.
