Understanding Power of Attorney

When life's uncertainties come knocking, having a Power of Attorney (POA) can be like holding a beacon of clarity in the midst of confusion. At Brookside Mobile Notary in Sacramento, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge and services that bring peace of mind. Today, let's demystify what Power of Attorney is and why it's a crucial part of your planning toolkit.

What is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that grants one person (the "agent") the authority to make decisions on behalf of another person (the "principal"). These decisions can range from financial matters to medical care, depending on the type of POA.

Types of Power of Attorney:

• General Power of Attorney: This gives the agent broad powers to handle your financial affairs.

• Durable Power of Attorney: Remains in effect if you become incapacitated, covering decisions related to your property, financial, or medical care.

• Medical Power of Attorney: Specifically allows the agent to make medical decisions for you if you're unable to do so.

• Limited Power of Attorney: Grants the agent authority to act in specific situations only.
  

Why is a Power of Attorney Important?

Having a POA ensures that your affairs will be managed according to your wishes, even if you're unable to make decisions yourself. It's about preparing for the "what ifs" in life, ensuring that your health, finances, and legal matters are in trusted hands.

Setting Up a Power of Attorney:

1. Choose Wisely: Select an agent who is reliable, trustworthy, and understands your wishes.

2. Consult with Professionals: Consider speaking with a legal professional to understand which type of POA best suits your needs.

3. Notarization: Once your POA document is prepared, it needs to be notarized. That's where Brookside Mobile Notary comes in. We make this step convenient by coming to you, ensuring your document is legally binding.
