Types Of Powers Of Attorney

Powers of attorney can generally be categorized into two main types: financial and health care.

  • Financial power of attorney: This document authorizes your agent to manage your financial affairs, such as paying bills, handling investments or conducting real estate transactions.
  • Health care power of attorney: This document allows your agent to make medical decisions on your behalf, including choices about treatments, care facilities and end-of-life care.

Each serves a distinct purpose, and having both helps ensure comprehensive protection of your interests.

Reasons To Have A Power Of Attorney

A power of attorney is not just for those anticipating incapacity; it provides flexibility for many situations:

  • Military members or frequent travelers may require a POA for managing affairs at home.
  • Single individuals might designate an agent to have someone who can act on their behalf.
  • Business owners may authorize agents to make decisions while they are unavailable.

Agents can manage tasks like overseeing investments, filing taxes or even selling property, giving you peace of mind that your interests are in good hands.

You can appoint multiple agents for different responsibilities, such as separate POAs for financial and health care matters, and you can revise or revoke your POA at any time as your circumstances change. Having a trusted agent gives you the confidence that your affairs will be managed according to your wishes.
