Sarasota Power of Attorney Lawyer

A power of attorney is much more than a signature on a form. It’s a tool that gives you control over your financial and healthcare decisions, even if you are unable to act on your own behalf. The Matechik Law Firm works with clients throughout Sarasota County and Manatee County, helping them understand the scope, benefits, and potential pitfalls of financial and healthcare powers of attorney.

Our office, just a few minutes’ drive from the Sarasota County Historic Courthouse, offers both in-person and virtual consultations, allowing you to address these important decisions with our lawyer at your convenience.

How Financial and Healthcare Powers of Attorney Protect You

A financial power of attorney allows a trusted person to manage bank accounts, pay your bills, oversee investments, or handle real estate transactions on your behalf. Meanwhile, a healthcare power of attorney empowers someone you trust to make medical decisions, consult with physicians, and access medical records if you are unable to communicate your preferences.

Misunderstandings can arise when these roles are not clearly defined, or when documents are not drafted with foresight, which is where our experience becomes invaluable.

Creating a power of attorney offers multiple benefits. For Sarasota residents, this can mean protecting assets tied to local properties or managing family-owned businesses without disruption. By planning ahead, you can designate decision-makers who align with your values and priorities.

The Matechik Law Firm takes the time to clearly explain important nuances, such as the difference between durable versus limited powers, or how to coordinate powers of attorney with trusts, advance directives, and succession planning.

By guiding you through these options, we strive to help you avoid common mistakes that could lead to disputes or confusion during critical times. A well-structured power of attorney complements other estate planning tools, providing a holistic framework that safeguards both your assets and your family’s well-being.

Our approach is designed to be approachable and practical. Choosing a lawyer like Attorney Matechik, in the prime of his career, can also be an advantage. It allows for a long-term partnership with someone who can grow with your family, adapt to changing circumstances, and remain a consistent resource across multiple generations.

From coordinating powers of attorney with living trusts and special needs trusts to integrating them with asset protection strategies, The Matechik Law Firm helps you develop plans that reflect your priorities while remaining adaptable for the future. By addressing Sarasota and Manatee County-specific considerations, like local property ownership rules and Florida-specific healthcare directives, we craft plans that are both legally sound and customized to your life.
