A power of attorney allows another person to step into our shoes and make decisions for us. There are different kinds of powers of attorney. You may need help making medical decisions, in which case we can prepare a health care power of attorney so that a trusted loved one can make those decisions for you. Or you may need help with financial decisions. If so, we can prepare a financial power of attorney to enable someone to write checks, pay bills, prepare tax returns etc. As we age sometimes we need help with these matters. Having a power of attorney can let you rest easy knowing that a loved one has the authority to handle our affairs.
