Prepare for the Unexpected with Powers of Attorney

It is important to prepare for the possibility that you may one day lose the ability to make crucial decisions on your own. A power of attorney can provide peace of mind by ensuring that a person you trust will take care of your affairs if you cannot.

From our offices in Okemos and Canton, our team at Daudi & Kroll, P.C., provides knowledgeable, client-focused and committed guidance on powers of attorney. Our Michigan power of attorney lawyers can help you use this estate planning tool to protect your wishes and goals.

What is a Power of Attorney?

Through this legal tool, you can give decision-making authority to another person. You can make a power of attorney durable. This means it stays in effect even in the event of incapacity. This could help you avoid guardianship or conservatorship. You can have the power of attorney go into force immediately or have it do so when a specified event occurs.

How is this Legal Tool Used?

There are two main classes of powers of attorney:

  • Medical power of attorney: This allows someone to make health care decisions on your behalf.
  • Financial power of attorney: This allows a person to make financial decisions for you.

Within both of these classes, you can specify how much decision-making authority you want to grant. This flexibility can help ensure these tools best suit your needs.

While you aren’t required to have a lawyer’s help in forming a power of attorney, there are many reasons it can be a smart choice. Decision-making authority is a significant thing to transfer to someone else. You want to make sure the document that does so is clearly written and will function the way you expect.
