Different Types Of Powers Of Attorney
Choosing the right type of power of attorney is important for managing your financial responsibilities effectively. We can help you select the right ones, which may include:
- General power of attorney: This gives your chosen person broad authority to handle your financial tasks, like managing bank accounts, paying bills and dealing with real estate. It’s useful for a set time or until you’re unable to make decisions.
- Durable power of attorney: This remains active even if you become unable to make decisions. It ensures that your appointed person can continue managing your finances and protecting your assets.
- Limited (or special) power of attorney: This lets your agent handle specific financial tasks, like selling a property or overseeing certain investments, for a defined task or time period.
- Springing power of attorney: This only kicks in under specific conditions, usually if you’re unable to make decisions yourself, allowing your agent to step in only when necessary.
Each type serves different purposes, so it’s important to pick the one that best fits your needs. When you work with Allen Wellman Harvey Keyes Cooley, LLP, you will get a dedicated estate plan lawyer who will help you understand and set up the right power of attorney. Our goal is to help you protect your financial security and personal interests for years to come.
