Power of AttorneyAt Leonard & Moore, PLLC, we specialize in three distinct areas of law, including real estate, bankruptcy, and estate law services. One of the services that falls under our estate law category is called a power of attorney. This is essentially a legal document that you can use to give someone else authority to make specific actions on your behalf. For example, a financial power of attorney would give someone else the ability to sell real estate and write checks for you if you were ever incapacitated and unable to do so.

There are two main types of powers of attorney. As mentioned above, a financial power of attorney is the first, and a medical power of attorney is the second. Preparing these two documents with the assistance of a lawyer in addition to a living will can ensure that your best interests for both your finances and health stay in the hands of people you trust.

Although most individuals can benefit from creating this legal document, there are some situations where this document should be a necessity. For example, a power of attorney is particularly advantageous if you:

  • Are married
  • Have a living trust
  • Own joint tenancy property
