A power of attorney is a document that allows you to appoint a person or organization (referred to as an 'Attorney-in-Fact' or 'Agent') to handle your affairs while you're unavailable or unable to do so. There are several types of powers of attorney including: General Power of Attorney (which authorizes your Agent to act on your behalf in a variety of different situations); Special Power of Attorney (which authorizes your Agent to act on your behalf in specific situations only); and Health Care Power of Attorney (which authorizes your Agent to make health care decisions for you if you're incapacitated). Contact the power of attorney lawyers at Maverick & Peters, LLC to get expertise advice regarding your power of attorney situation. They are ready to provide assistance to families throughout Rahway and New Jersey. The general, special and health care powers of attorney can all be made 'durable' by adding certain text to the document, which means that the document will remain in effect or take effect if you become mentally incompetent. A Revocation of Power of Attorney allows you to revoke a power of attorney document.
A general power of attorney is very broad and provides extensive powers to the person or organization you appoint as your Agent. These powers usually include: exercising stock rights; buying, managing or selling real estate; filing tax returns; handling matters related to government benefits; and much more. You also have the option to grant additional powers to your Agent like making transfers to revocable (living) trusts or disclaiming interests, and other powers. A special power of attorney is often used to allow your Agent to handle specific situations for you when you are unavailable or unable to do so. For example, you may be traveling outside the state or country, or you may be unable to handle a specific situation because of other commitments, or health reasons. A special power of attorney allows you to give only specific powers to the person or organization you appoint as your Agent. For example, you could authorize someone to sell a car or a house for you. Many people use the special power of attorney to authorize their Agent to do one or several of the following: handle banking transactions; enter safety deposit boxes; handle transactions involving U.S. securities; collect debts; and more.
Even if you have executed a health care power of attorney, you still have the right to give medical directions to physicians and other health care providers as long as you are able to do so. This document only becomes effective when you do not have the capacity to give, withdraw or withhold informed consent regarding your health care. Power of attorney lawyer, Vince Maverick, can help you navigate through this difficult and unfortunate time of your life. If you're going through a power of attorney in Rahway NJ, give him a call today to see what options are available. You can also sign a durable power of attorney document to prepare for the possibility that you may become mentally incompetent due to illness or an accident. In this case, you would specify that the power of attorney wouldn't go into effect unless a doctor certifies that you are mentally incapacitated.
There is always the possibility that the person or organization you appoint as your Agent either won't be able to serve or will refuse to serve. That's why you have the option of appointing a Successor Agent who can take over as Agent if necessary. The durable financial power of attorney is a simple way to arrange for someone to handle your finances. This is a simple, inexpensive, and reliable way to arrange for someone to manage your finances if you become incapacitated (unable to make decisions for yourself). You can also specify that the power of attorney does not go into effect unless a doctor certifies that you have become incapacitated. This is called a 'springing' durable power of attorney.
