Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorizes someone you trust to handle your financial and legal matters. In Florida, this is especially important for individuals planning ahead for incapacity, disability, or aging.

• Plan for the Unexpected: A POA allows your chosen agent to step in immediately if you are injured, ill, or otherwise unable to act for yourself.

• Florida Requires Specific Language: Florida law mandates that powers must be clearly stated and that the document must comply with specific execution rules.

• Avoid Guardianship: Without a valid POA, your loved ones may be forced to petition the court for guardianship to manage your affairs—a costly and time-consuming process.
