Hi, I’m

A durable power of attorney is a document that appoints somebody you know and trust to manage your legal and financial affairs if you can’t or don’t want to.

Without a durable power of attorney, your family may be forced to go to court to get a “guardianship” over you.  A guardianship is a court order saying who has the power to make your decisions.  In a guardianship, your rights are ripped away from you and given to somebody else.  It may be somebody you didn’t want to have the power to make your decisions.  And, there are annual reports due to the court.  The guardian is required to keep good records and make annual reports back to the judge.
