Power of Attorney: Essential Protection for Incapacity
Ensure your family can help you during illness or disability. A simple Power of Attorney document prevents costly court proceedings and gives your loved ones the authority to act on your behalf.
If you become sick or disabled, either temporarily or permanently, who will make decisions for you?
• A Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to handle your affairs if you cannot do so.
• If you cannot pay bills, get records or make other decisions, your family will be prevented from helping you get treatment, pay doctors or for Medicare.
• Without a Power of Attorney, your family may have to file what is known as an Article 81 Proceeding, seeking guardianship of the disabled person. This process involves the Court, several lawyers and usually at least $4,000 to $50,000. A Power of Attorney costs significantly less.
• It is important that you give your family the tools to help you if you cannot help yourself.
