Power of Attorney

Are you thinking of appointing an attorney?

Appointing an attorney can be helpful if you or a loved one need or would prefer to have someone you trust handle your financial and legal affairs for you for various reasons. 

What is a Power of Attorney (POA)?

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants someone else the authority to act on your behalf in financial and legal matters. This appointed individual is known as an attorney. The person granting this authority is called the ‘principal’. You might choose to appoint an attorney if you prefer not to manage these affairs yourself, or to plan ahead for a time when you may need someone to manage them for you, whether due to illness, travel, or something else.  

Why and when might you need a POA?

You might consider appointing an attorney to handle your affairs if:
You are no longer capable due to illness, injury or disability, whether permanent or temporary. 
You would rather give the responsibility to someone with experience. 
You are travelling overseas and need someone to take care of things in your absence.
You have a diagnosis that may lead to mental incapacity.
