If you were to suddenly find yourself incapacitated, a durable power of attorney would give a trusted person the ability to make some of those important decisions for you.
WHAT IS A DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY?
A durable power of attorney is the legal right granted by you to a third party to make financial decisions in your name if you become incapacitated. Of course, since this third party has so much legal authority in your name, it is extremely important that you appoint someone whom you can absolutely trust and who also possesses the ability to handle your legal and financial matters.
WHY DO I NEED A DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY?
No one ever wants to think that the worst will happen, but having a power of attorney can protect you if you were to become incapacitated due to an injury, stroke, illness, dementia, or Alzheimer’s.
The person with power of attorney will be able to help you pay your bills, take care of your investments, and buy or sell real estate and other assets. This can ensure that you are still able to care for your family, even while you are unable to work.
