Put one in place before you need it.
Discuss whom you trust with financial matters. An attorney explains powers of attorney in plain English, by Microsoft Teams or in person.
Someone you trust, in writing.
Someone you trust
A financial power of attorney is a legal document where you name another person to act for you on financial matters.
What they can do
What an agent can do depends on what your document says. In general terms, a financial power of attorney can cover everyday money tasks such as paying bills, dealing with your bank, handling taxes, and signing paperwork for your property.
While you're alive
A financial power of attorney works while you're alive, and your agent's authority ends at your death. A will works after you die.
Your power of attorney comes with the full package, including your will and health care directive.

Review your documents
We prepare your documents, and your attorney goes over them with you before anything is signed.
