Financial Power of Attorney

Since a financial POA gives decision making authority to your designated agent, it is important to choose someone who you trust to carry out your wishes. If you become incapacitated or unable to make sound financial decisions, and you don’t have a financial POA in place, a probate court can appoint a guardian to manage your financial assets. While most POA agents are trustworthy, it is better to choose someone you know and trust, rather than leaving it to chance. A financial power of attorney does just that.

Working with CPM estate attorneys helps you create a thorough financial power of attorney that not only designates your agent but provides direction for how you want your assets managed if you become incapacitated. This collaboration covers vital aspects including scope of authority, effective dates and duration, guidelines for revoking financial POA authority, and any special instructions or limitations that you want to include.
