What is Power of Attorney?

A power of attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint another person to make financial and medical decisions on your behalf should you become unable to do so. If you have a will, it is likely that you also have a power of attorney, as the two documents are frequently paired together.

There are two types of powers of attorney: medical and financial. A medical power of attorney allows you to appoint someone to make medical decisions for you should you become unable to do so. A financial power of attorney allows you to appoint someone to make financial decisions for you should you become unable to do so. Both powers of attorney are equally important and should be drafted by an experienced attorney.

What Are the Benefits of a Power of Attorney?

There are many benefits to having a power of attorney. First and foremost, it allows you to appoint someone you trust to make important financial and medical decisions if you are unable to do so. It also allows you to appoint someone to handle your financial and medical affairs if you become incapacitated and have to enter a nursing home or hospital. If you become disabled, a power of attorney allows you to appoint someone to handle your financial affairs so that you can focus on getting better. Finally, a power of attorney allows you to appoint someone to handle your financial and medical affairs should you become deceased.

Some of the benefits of a power of attorney include:

• Ability to appoint someone to make important financial and medical decisions on your behalf
• Ability to appoint someone to handle your financial and medical affairs if you become incapacitated
• Ability to appoint someone to handle your financial affairs if you become disabled
• Ability to appoint someone to handle your financial and medical affairs if you become deceased

You should draft a power of attorney if you do not have a will or if you want to add a power of attorney to your existing will.
