What Are Powers Of Attorney?

In North Carolina, power of attorney (POA) can fall into several categories of note, but the general purpose is to allow another person to make decisions on your behalf.

Who Should Get Powers Of Attorney?

A durable power of attorney is a document that allows a person to make financial and healthcare decisions for you. You can limit the powers of attorney to one category or make it a general power if you wish. However, who would you want to have in that position?

Often, people don’t have one person that they would trust to be in charge of both their financial and physical health. Some members of your family or circle may indeed be excellent at managing financial problems and less able or willing to handle high-stakes medical problems. The reverse could be true as well.

Largely, your decision is one of your trusts. Our office and work with you on deciding what you would want to have in the person with POA over you. We can then craft the necessary documents that put this into effect.
