If you are at least 18 years of age, you can establish a power of attorney. This document empowers you to designate another individual to legally handle your financial or healthcare matters in the event you become incapacitated and are unable to speak for yourself. Power of attorney documents aren’t one-size-fits-all documents, there are three types of POAs you can establish in California and each one has its own focus.

Our lawyer will meet with you to discuss your situation and determine which POAs would best suit your needs. You may want to provide a loved one (your chosen agent) with broad decision-making abilities or limit them. Or, you might want to split financial and healthcare decision-making authority amongst different people you trust. We’ll go over your options and help you draft your POA documents so you can rest assured your financial and healthcare matters will be thoughtfully taken care of in the event you can no longer do it yourself.
