Estate Planning Essentials

Power of Attorney

Create a legally binding power of attorney document to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you're unable to do so.

Why you need a Power of Attorney

A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone to make decisions and act on your behalf if you become unable to do so. Without a POA, your loved ones may need to go through a lengthy and expensive court process to gain authority to help you.

Our power of attorney service helps you:

  • Choose a trusted agent to handle your affairs
  • Specify the exact powers you want to grant
  • Include specific instructions for your care
  • Create state-specific documents that comply with local laws
  • Avoid costly court proceedings for your family
