Give someone else the authority to act on your behalf.

Although it is hard to think about becoming unable to make your own decisions, this is a real possibility, especially as you age. A power of attorney is helpful and necessary when you want to choose someone you trust to act when you cannot. Without a power of attorney, a family member or friend may have to go to court to become your appointed agent, which can be a lengthy, expensive, and public process. It can also delay you receiving the care you need or being able to sell a home or other assets while the court decides.

Power of Attorney in Winston-Salem, North Carolina

At the office of Robert G. Spaugh, Attorney at Law, we typically recommend creating two types of power of attorney documents to add to your comprehensive estate plan: healthcare and financial powers of attorney. These documents are much like they sound – a financial power of attorney allows someone to make financial decisions on your behalf, while a healthcare power of attorney gives someone authority to make critical healthcare decisions when you become incapacitated.

Not only will we make sure we craft an effective power of attorney for your estate, but we will also make sure we draft the right types of documents for you to fulfill your wishes and needs.
