Powers of Attorney

I’m Bill Syverson, an accomplished estate planning attorney who specializes in creating customized powers of attorney (POA) that align with your personal needs and provide peace of mind. Contact me now to ensure that your interests are protected in the event you can’t make financial, legal, and medical decisions for yourself.

The Benefits of Establishing a POA

Protect Your Interests: A durable power of attorney ensures your financial, medical, and legal affairs are handled according to your wishes, even if you become incapacitated.
Avoid Family Conflict: Designating a trusted agent reduces the likelihood of disputes between family members about your care or financial decisions.
Preserve Autonomy: A POA enables you to make decisions about who will represent you and how your interests will be managed, rather than leaving these decisions to a court-appointed guardian.
Access to Quick Action: In cases of medical emergencies or other urgent needs, a healthcare power of attorney reduces delays in your care by empowering your designated agent to make decisions promptly.

4 Basic Types of Powers Of Attorney

When it comes to a POA, one size doesn’t fit all. I offer comprehensive guidance to help you understand the different types of POAs and choose the one that best suits your situation.

General Power of Attorney: Grants broad authority over financial and legal matters. This POA provides flexibility but is typically limited to specific time frames or circumstances.
Durable Power of Attorney: Remains valid even if you become incapacitated. This POA is essential for ensuring that someone you trust can make decisions on your behalf when you are no longer able to do so.
Special or Limited Power of Attorney: Authorizes an individual to act on your behalf for a specific purpose, such as selling a property or handling a financial transaction.
Healthcare Power of Attorney: Empowers someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated and unable to express your wishes.
