Durable Power of Attorney
At Jen Haskins Law, LLC, our experienced estate and probate attorneys in Macon, GA, understand the importance of planning for the future. One essential part of comprehensive estate planning is creating a durable power of attorney.
What Is a Durable Power of Attorney?
A durable power of attorney is a legal document that grants authority to another person, known as the agent or attorney-in-fact, to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf in the event that you become incapacitated or unable to make decisions for yourself.
Unlike a regular power of attorney, a durable power of attorney remains in effect even if you become mentally or physically incapacitated. This ensures that someone you trust can manage your affairs and make decisions in your best interests.
The Importance of a Durable Power of Attorney
Creating a durable power of attorney is crucial for several reasons:
- Protection: It safeguards your interests by ensuring that someone you trust can act on your behalf if you are unable to do so.
- Control: You can choose the person you want to appoint as your agent, giving you control over who will make important decisions for you.
- Avoiding Guardianship Proceedings: Without a durable power of attorney, your loved ones may have to go through the time-consuming and costly process of obtaining guardianship to manage your affairs.
