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.
