Understanding a Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is an essential legal document that grants authority to a trusted individual to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. They are typically divided into two main categories: Financial and Medical, each serving distinct purposes.
Medical Power of Attorney
A Medical Power of Attorney and / or Advanced Health Care Directive authorizes a trusted person to make healthcare decisions for you if you are unable to, or ensures your prior wishes are followed.
Financial Power of Attorney
A Financial Power of Attorney empowers a designated individual to manage your financial and legal matters, providing peace of mind and ensuring your affairs are in order.
