This legal document can be an extremely beneficial tool in the event you are not able to handle your own affairs. When an unexpected need arises, having a power of attorney in place can save you and your loved ones time, money, and a lot of headaches. It can often help families avoid a guardianship proceeding, which can be expensive and time consuming. However, while this document can be tremendously helpful in some situations, it also poses great risk and should only be signed with cautious deliberation. This article explains what a Durable Power of Attorney is, provides some important things to consider when preparing it, and also highlights the risk associated with this document. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0eee76ef19154165bc0676/f8997654-e000-4c85-9263-7fab6a70b5c9/Copy+of+The+Act+requires+millions+of+business+owners+to+report+information+about+their+business+and+owners+to+the+-+a+bureau+of+the+United+States+Treasury.+%281%29.png News & Insights - Durable Powers of Attorney: A Helpful Tool in the Estate Planning Toolbox - Another important consideration in preparing this document is when it should become effective. Some principals may need the document to become effective only upon their incapacity. Others may be better served by a document that is effective immediately upon signing. Many powers of attorney expire only upon the death of the principal, but others include an earlier expiration date. When the document becomes effective and when it ceases to become effective must be carefully considered. If you have questions about a power of attorney, contact Hudson Legal Services.
