Power of Attorney Chicago
Establishing a power of attorney is a fundamental step in creating a well-rounded estate plan. This power of attorney grants a trusted individual the authority to act on your behalf in financial matters or healthcare decisions in the event of your being incapacitated. With power of attorney, you can ensure that your wishes are respected and your affairs are managed according to your specifications. Greenwood Law can guide you through the complexities of creating a power of attorney that aligns with your estate planning goals.

Highly Recommend Ben Young
We recently had Benjamin Young prepare our estate plan, including a trust, wills, and health care power of attorney documents. We had some very specific stipulations that we weren't sure could be implemented but needed, and Ben assured us it could be done and took the time to make sure everything was included. He was so patient when explaining the finished documents and made sure that all of our questions were answered before we signed anything. I would highly recommend Ben Young to anyone who needs an estate plan because he will not disappoint you!

Highly Recommend Greenwood Law!
We came to Greenwood Law for estate planning. The value of a will package is so reasonable compared to other attorneys, and the staff were so attentive, responsive, and kind. Our assistant, Kara Rupe, helped us make sure that all of our wishes were honored. It took less than two weeks for the whole process and to get on the schedule. I couldn't recommend Greenwood Law more highly!

A Power of Attorney can have an expiration date specified in the document, but otherwise, it generally remains in effect until you choose to revoke it, or upon your death. A Durable Power of Attorney continues if you become incapacitated, while others may not.
Is a Power of Attorney valid in all states?
While a Power of Attorney is generally valid across all states, the specific requirements and recognition can vary. It's essential to ensure your POA complies with state laws where it's being used and consider consulting with legal counsel if you relocate.
What decisions can a Power of Attorney make?
A Power of Attorney can make decisions on your behalf as outlined in the document. These decisions might include managing finances, buying or selling property, and making healthcare choices. The scope of authority depends on the type of POA you establish.
How is a Power of Attorney created?
To create a Power of Attorney, you need to draft a document outlining the powers granted and to whom. It must be signed and usually notarized. Consulting with a legal professional can ensure it meets state requirements and aligns with your intentions.
