Power of Attorney (POA) documents are essential legal instruments that grant an individual, known as the agent or attorney-in-fact, the authority to make decisions on behalf of another person, called the principal. These documents can cover various aspects of life, including financial matters, healthcare decisions, and property management. POAs can be tailored to specific situations, such as a limited POA for a single transaction or a durable POA that remains effective even if the principal becomes incapacitated. Understanding the different types of POAs and their implications is crucial for ensuring your wishes are carried out when you're unable to act for yourself. At Ott Law Firm, we recognize the importance of these documents in protecting your interests and those of your loved ones. Our experienced attorneys can guide you through the process of creating a comprehensive POA that aligns with your unique needs and circumstances.
