You Need a Power of Attorney Agent

How Do You Choose an Impartial POA Agent You Can Trust?

Your Power of Attorney (POA) agent is someone who will make financial decisions for you in times of duress, whether it’s injury or illness. It can be difficult to know who to choose, but planning ahead can ease the stress of difficult situations. At Paper Tigress, we can provide an objective viewpoint from a professional outside the situation.

When do you need a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that appoints someone to make decisions for you if you become incapacitated due to injury, or illness. These decisions could cover anything from property to finances and medical care. Often people will appoint an adult child or relative as their POA, but you might need to hire a 3rd party if:

 

  • There are no descendants
  • Descendants exist but are not reliable
  • Assigning Power of Attorney to one or another will cause ill feelings within the family
