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.

Frequently asked questions

A Will, also known as a Last Will and Testament, is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets and the care of any minor children after you pass away. Without a Will, the state decides how your assets are divided, which may not reflect your wishes.
Everyone over the age of 18 should have a Will. Whether you have significant assets or modest belongings, a Will ensures your wishes are followed. It's especially important if you have children, own property, or want to leave specific items to certain people.
Your Gentreo online Will includes the ability to name beneficiaries, make beneficiary designations, appoint guardians for minor children, assign an executor to manage your estate, and specify how your assets should be distributed. All documents are state-specific and legally binding.
Yes! Gentreo's online Wills are legally binding in all 50 states. Our documents are created by experienced attorneys and tailored to meet your state's specific legal requirements. Once properly signed and witnessed, your online Will carries the same legal weight as one drafted by an attorney.
An online Will provides clear legal documentation of your wishes, which reduces family disputes, minimizes probate complications, and ensures your loved ones are taken care of. It names guardians for your children and specifies how your assets should be handled.
A Will takes effect after you pass away and goes through probate. A Living Trust takes effect immediately and can help avoid probate. Many estate plans include both—a Trust as the primary vehicle and a Pour-over Will as a safety net to capture any assets not in the Trust.
