What Is a Power of Attorney and Why Does It Matter?

A power of attorney (POA) is a critical legal document within estate planning, allowing you to appoint someone to make financial, legal, or medical decisions on your behalf. These decisions often come into play if you're incapacitated or unavailable to act for yourself. Some of the most common uses for a power of attorney include:

Managing Financial Matters: Paying bills, handling investments, or overseeing real estate transactions.

Legal Representation: Acting on your behalf in court or during negotiations.

Medical Decision-Making: Choosing treatments, managing medical care, and representing your preferences in urgent situations.

Selecting a power of attorney is no simple task. You need someone who is trustworthy, dependable, and thoroughly understands your wishes. However, creating this document requires more than just naming a person—it must comply with state laws and address all relevant scenarios.
This is where Hynes & Chu, LLP comes in. Their legal expertise ensures every detail is carefully considered so you can feel confident in your decision.
