Real-World, Practical Counsel on Powers of Attorney
Attorney Phil Hingson is the lawyer for you if you have these concerns about powers of attorney and related matters. In every situation, Phil emphasizes that:
• Your general durable financial power of attorney is a critical document, giving someone you trust the power to pay your bills, but also to deal with your assets as they see fit
• Your advance directive — referred to in the past as a living will or medical power of attorney is as personal and consequential as estate planning documents get, determining who makes decisions for you about life support and other critical matters
It would be hard to overemphasize the importance of working with a lawyer you trust on these critical documents. Poorly drafted Powers of Attorney (POAs) may be challenged or unaccepted, out of hand, by banks or title companies. We want the best for you and your family, and encourage you to contact us about maximum protection of not only your assets, but also your well-being and peace of mind.
