POWER OF ATTORNEY
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives someone else the right to act on your behalf. Many people believe their families will be able to step in if something happens and they cannot make decisions for themselves. This isn’t always true.
You can name someone to make financial decisions for you with a continuing power of attorney for property. For personal care and health decisions what medical care you will receive if you get sick or injured, you can name someone in a power of attorney for personal care. No one can make you sign a power of attorney if you don’t want to. But, if you don’t choose one, the government may have to appoint someone to make certain decisions for you. It’s better if you choose someone you feel you can really trust, who knows your wishes.
