The Power of Attorney is a legal arrangement that helps you turn over the management of your finances or business affairs should you become incapacitated.
Keeping your estate planning documents up to date is essential in the event something happens to you and you are unable to make the decisions regarding your finances. Having an up to date Power of Attorney is very important especially when you consider who will control my finances.
