Power of Attorney
YES, with decades of successful experience helping thousands of different people, we can help you too with a Power of Attorney - which is part of your prudent Estate Planning.
Estate Planning includes prudent planning for the usual events BEFORE death in addition to AFTER death.
BEFORE DEATH there are many possible situations you will need someone to make decisions for you while you are alive (Intervivos), whether when you are away on vacation or ill or injured, etc. There are legal documents to confirm who you are appointing as your decision maker(s) including a Power of Attorney for routine financial decisions, a Health Directive in regard to your health treatment choices, and a Representative Agreement wherein you can detail what kind of treatment you want and when you want it to stop, and related financial powers.
AFTER DEATH the legal authority of your POA and other intervivos documents ends so you need a Last Will & Testament ("Will") to make testamentary" decisions eg appoint your Executor and Trustee to protect and administer your estate, then distribute as you specify in your Will.
It is also important to clarify and confirm what are your instructions in regard to your body, not just the distribution of your assets, eg type of funeral, memorial service is a specific religion or non-denominational, burial or cremation, ETC. A "Pre-Need" planner with an experienced funeral home like KEARNEY can help you usually for free eg all their information and planning help to you is paid by commission form the products you choose.
