A power of attorney is an important legal document that can provide you with peace of mind in the event that, for whatever reason, you are unable to deal with your own affairs in the future. With a power of attorney, you will be giving written authorization for a specified person to deal with certain affairs, such as medical, legal, and financial matters, in the event that you are unable to do so for some reason in the future. This could be for various reasons, ranging from death or serious illness to incapacitation or absence.
A power of attorney can come into force as soon as it is signed, but you can also add a clause that states that you want it to come into force only under certain conditions, such as if you fall ill and are unable to handle your own affairs, if you die, or if you become mentally incapacitated. A power of attorney can save a lot of time and trouble in the future, because if you fall seriously ill and are unable to express your wishes in the future, or if you die, there will be no need to family members to go to court, as one will already have power of attorney over your affairs.
A power of attorney can cover a range of things and can be restricted to certain affairs, such as only legal matters, or it can cover everything from decisions on whether the person is kept alive artificially in the future to dealing with matters relating to finances. Many people with terminal illnesses decide to use a power of attorney so that something is already organized in the event that they die or become too ill to deal with their affairs any longer in the future.
A lawyer can deal with power of attorney documentation, and for those diagnosed with chronic or terminal diseases, a power of attorney is often a useful idea that can diffuse future family problems and will help to ensure that your wishes are carried out in the event that you become too ill to deal with them or you pass away.
