Are there any restrictions on who I can appoint as my power of attorney?

You can appoint any adult to serve as your attorney-in-fact. It is important to remember that whoever you appoint will be authorized to make important legal and financial decisions on your behalf. Therefore, you should choose someone who can be trusted with these matters.

Why do I need a power of attorney if I already have a will?

Yes. A power of attorney and a will serve different purposes. A power of attorney is valid during your lifetime; it gives your agent the authority to make decisions for you when you are unable to do so because of physical and/or mental incapacity. A will, on the other hand, directs your executor (who may or may not be the person you appointed as your attorney-in-fact) on how to manage your estate after your death.

How long is my power of attorney valid?

Your power of attorney is valid until your death. However, you can revoke your power of attorney at any time. Also, in some states, your power of attorney will also end automatically if you get divorced and your ex-spouse had been appointed your attorney-in-fact.

How much power can I grant my attorney-in-fact?

You can grant your attorney-in-fact the power to make decisions concerning most all of your financial matters. However, if you wish to limit certain decisions that he or she can make, you are free to do so. Furthermore, you cannot grant your agent the power to change your will.

When does my power of attorney become valid?

Your power of attorney is valid as soon as you sign the document in accordance with state law; this often requires that you sign the document in the presence of a notary public and/or in the presence of one or more witnesses.

Why do I need a power of attorney if I already have a living trust?

You need a power of attorney in addition to your living trust because the trust only covers those items specifically mentioned in your trust. The power of attorney is broader than the living trust, in that it covers all legal and financial decisions that your agent may have to make.

Is there a difference between an agent and an executor?

Yes, there is a difference between an agent and an executor. An agent makes decisions for you while you are alive. An executor makes decisions for you and manages your estate after your death.

What if the person I select as my attorney-in-fact is unable to serve as my agent?

It is always a good idea to appoint an alternate agent, in the case that your first choice becomes unable or unwilling to serve as your agent.

I think the last time I did a power of attorney was ten years ago. I knew I needed a new one, but it was just one more thing I had to do. A friend told me about NowLegal, and I decided to check it out. It was awesome how fast the questionnaire was. Plus, the document they produced was excellent. NowLegal is the way to go.

All I can say is that I was very impressed with NowLegal's document preparation services! I did my power of attorney and my last will and testament through NowLegal and I was very pleased with the results.

I was more worried about making sure I would be in good hands before I went in for an operation, than the actual surgery itself. Thanks to the NowLegal website, I was able to give someone I loved my Power of Attorney beforehand.
