Powers of Attorney
Guarantee Your Best Interests
Losing control of your decision making is not a pleasant thought, but should it happen to you, don’t you want to know that you will be guaranteed to have someone working in your best interests? At the Gainesville offices of Edler Law of Georgia, P.C., we will help you draft a Power of Attorney to safeguard that very thing.
Why Appoint a Power of Attorney?
Simply put, a power of attorney allows you to plan for the unexpected. This estate planning document only comes into effect should you suffer a severe injury or suffer from an advanced cognitive illness (such as dementia or Alzheimer’s). And by designating someone that you trust ahead of time, you can rest easy that this person will put your best interests first.
NEED TO KNOW: POWER OF ATTORNEY
Types of Decisions a Power of Attorney Makes
Usually, powers of attorney handle both health care decisions and financial decisions or matters that arise. Some people choose to appoint two separate powers of attorney, one for health care and one for financial decisions.
You Have the Ultimate Authority
You may draft your estate planning document to ensure some control over what your power of attorney can do. After all, it is your estate plan. You can include your wishes for how these situations would be handled so that your power of attorney has a guide to follow.
Only Lasts for Your Lifetime
A Power of Attorney is only valid so long as the person who wrote the document is alive. As soon as they are deceased, a power of attorney loses all legal authority to make decisions – a power of attorney is NOT an executor.
