Helping with Complex Affairs
Of all of the various types of legal services that lawyers provide, one of the most difficult and most important is that of a power of attorney. This is because many times this particular duty is required due to a major, life altering event that has taken place and there are many other variables and unknowns involved.
Implementing Instructions During Incapacitation
Unlike wills and estate law, this type of service takes place while the client is still alive but unable to attend to their own affairs and instead tasks their legal representative with taking care of it. Often times this requirement comes as a result of an accident or health crisis, which has left the person in an unresponsive state.
Reducing Stress During the Most Difficult Times
The last thing any family or friend wants to have to do during a time such as this is handle personal, business, or financial affairs of their loved one. Unlike death, which at least involves a measure of closure even if it is sudden or unexpected, there is usually a large amount of uncertainty and lingering shock which accompanies the incapacitation of someone close to you.
Administering Your Wishes
Granting power of attorney affords you the peace of mind in knowing that should something drastic happen to you out of the blue, your specific instructions regarding your personal or business interests will be carried out to the letter. This helps to at least ease the burden of obligations on those whom you care about.
