Life is full of decisions—where we live, how we work, and how we manage our health and finances. But what happens if we’re suddenly unable to make those decisions ourselves? A Continuous Power of Attorney (POA) ensures that someone you trust can step in when you need them most.
At our Family Law office, we’ve witnessed the value of this legal tool firsthand. Introduced in a 2016 amendment, a Continuous POA allows you to plan for the future by naming a trusted person to handle your affairs if you become unable to make decisions due to mental incapacity or other challenges.
This document empowers you to:
- Choose someone who shares your values to manage healthcare, finances, and personal matters.
- Avoid family disputes and bureaucratic hurdles by clearly outlining your wishes.
- Provide peace of mind for yourself and your loved ones.
Contrary to popular belief, planning isn’t just for the elderly. Uncertainty can strike at any age, making it essential to have a Continuous POA in place to maintain control over your life and protect your future.
