Power of Attorney
Ensure your financial and legal affairs are handled by someone you trust when you can't handle them yourself
What is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to designate someone you trust (called your "agent" or "attorney-in-fact") to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf. This becomes especially important if you become incapacitated due to illness, injury, or age.
