Three reasons why a durable power of attorney is important
-1- The proper execution of durable power of attorney can help to avoid the costs, delays, and emotional distress of mental capacity evaluation proceedings.
-2- You don’t have to risk the court appointing a conservator or guardian that may not be in line with your wishes.
-3- Activities and transactions occurring via a durable power of attorney are kept private. With a court-appointed guardian and conservator, court supervision is part of the deal and actions taken on behalf of an incapacitated person are recorded and can be accessed by the public.
Executing a durable power of attorney is relatively inexpensive and the forms are standard and simple. Get your Durable Power of Attorney documents completed today.
