Understanding the Different Types of Power of Attorney

When it comes to granting someone the authority to make legal decisions on your behalf, it's important to understand the different types of power of attorney. At Zell Law, our experienced attorneys can guide you through the process and help you choose the right type of power of attorney for your specific needs.

Here are the main types of power of attorney:

  • General Power of Attorney: This grants someone broad powers to act on your behalf in various legal and financial matters. It is typically used when you want someone to handle your affairs temporarily, such as during a period of illness or travel.
  • Limited Power of Attorney: Also known as a specific power of attorney, this grants someone the authority to act on your behalf for a specific purpose or period of time. For example, you may grant a limited power of attorney to someone to handle a real estate transaction while you are out of the country.
  • Healthcare Power of Attorney: This grants someone the authority to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated and are unable to make those decisions yourself. It is important to choose someone you trust to make healthcare decisions that align with your wishes.
  • Financial Power of Attorney: This grants someone the authority to manage your financial affairs, such as paying bills, managing investments, and filing taxes, if you are unable to do so yourself. It is important to choose someone who is financially responsible and trustworthy.

At Zell Law, we understand that each individual's situation is unique. Our knowledgeable attorneys will take the time to listen to your needs and help you create a power of attorney that provides you with peace of mind and ensures your wishes are carried out.
