Going away on a trip? Will you be spending time in the hospital? It is comforting to know that someone you trust can manage your affairs and administer your property while you are away. That person may be your spouse, one of your children, or a good friend. A power of attorney allows you to appoint a person (or mandatary) to act on your behalf in certain circumstances. The document can outline a series of powers you want to entrust to your mandatary. For example, the mandatary may pay your rent or mortgage, carry out banking transactions, renew your insurance policies, etc.
We can guide you through the process of choosing a type of power of attorney, drafting the document, getting it notarized, and even help you arrange for an additional witness. It is not a legal requirement for your power of attorney to be notarized, however, there are very good reasons to do so. The main one being that notarizing the document assures others that both the signature and document are legitimate, making it much less likely to be scrutinized. This is especially true when dealing with financial institutions, many banks will simply not accept powers of attorneys for property unless they are notarized.
