Power of Attorney

If you become sick or disabled, either temporarily or permanently, who will make decisions for you?

  • A Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to handle your affairs if you cannot do so.
  • If you cannot pay bills, get records or make other decisions, your family will be prevented from helping you get treatment, pay doctors or arrange for Medicare.
  • Without a Power of Attorney, your family may have to file a legal proceeding, seeking guardianship of your person. This process involves the Court, a couple of lawyers and a minimum of $500 to $1,000 and much more if there is a contest.  A single Power of Attorney typically costs less than $100.
  • It is important that you give your family the tools to help you if you cannot help yourself.
