Let Us Help You with a Power of Attorney

Michael A. Ross Law of Canton, OH, provides a variety of legal services to its clients. One of those services is power of attorney. What is a power of attorney? A power of attorney is a written authorization that enables someone to perform specified acts. These may be personal, estate, or on behalf of a principal. Generally, there are three types.

Durable

(In which the powers granted remain in effect in the event of the grantor's incapacity or on being adjudged incompetent.)

Springing

(In which the powers granted become effective when the grantor becomes incapacitated or is adjudged incompetent.)

Health Care

(Which may be used to authorize health care decisions in the event of incapacity.)

Powers of attorney that have the authority to transfer real estate, for example, must be executed in a specified way and recorded. Before establishing powers of attorney as an alternative to guardianship, legal counsel is advised. There are very minimal controls or measures against misuse or abuse of powers of attorney. Because of this, the agent of a power of attorney should be trustworthy and carefully selected.

Power of Attorney Legal Strategy

When you are unable to make choices about your health, a Power of Attorney for Health Care allows someone you trust to do so. You inform the physicians who represent you.


Do you have any bank accounts, CDs, investment accounts, or IRAs in only your name? You need a power of attorney right now if you need someone to access these on your behalf while you are unable to.


You have the option of granting someone authority immediately or only if you become incapable. You decide when the power starts working.

A Living Will and a Health Care Power of Attorney are both beneficial in the fundamental estate plan. Are both necessary? Maybe.


You often travel, right? Do you spend the winter in the South? In an emergency, having someone who can access your home accounts can help with a lot of issues.


Inform the banks and doctors that you are in charge of your priorities. Give that authority to a person you can trust so that your wishes will be carried out as you desire.
