Power of Attorney

A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives someone the power to make decisions on your behalf in certain capacities/situations. You can use a POA to give someone the power to buy or sell assets on your behalf, to implement changes in your estate planning, to make gifts in your name, and to make medical decisions for you. These measures can be temporary or permanent, and you can let the person have general power or put specific limitations on it.

When You May Need a POA

Some people use power of attorney in Southern California if they need to do business but can’t be there. In most other cases, however, power of attorney services are used to prepare for the future by appointing someone to handle your legal, financial, and medical needs before you become unable to do so. This often saves family members from a lengthy court process and ensures you have a prior say in who is making decisions on your behalf. Choosing a POA should be done when putting together legal authority documentation during estate planning. Our wills and power of attorney lawyer can help explain the scope of authority and ways you can protect yourself and your assets when choosing a POA.
