What is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that lets you name someone you trust to make financial decisions on your behalf if you are unable to. The person you choose (called your “agent” or “attorney-in-fact”) can manage tasks like paying bills, filing taxes, handling investments, and managing property.
You stay in full control. You choose exactly what powers to grant, and you can change or cancel your POA at any time.
A “durable” Power of Attorney stays in effect even if you become incapacitated. Without one, your family would need to go to court to manage your finances.
