What is a Power of Attorney?

A power of attorney is a legal document that gives another person (the “agent”) the authority to make decisions on behalf of the person creating it (the “principal”). The scope of that authority depends on the type of POA and the principal’s instructions.

Having a POA in place allows for important financial, legal, and/or medical decisions to still be made if you (the principal) become unavailable or incapacitated. From paying bills to making medical choices, a POA is a safeguard that keeps life moving forward, even in times of uncertainty.

Types of Powers of Attorney in Texas

Different situations call for different types of POAs. Understanding which type fits your needs is important, so you shouldn’t just guess and pick one. Instead, come to our law firm and let our attorneys discuss your options and pick which estate planning tool makes the most sense for you.

The different types of powers of attorney used in Texas usually are:

• Durable power of attorney – Grants authority over financial and legal matters and remains effective even if the principal becomes incapacitated.
• Medical power of attorney – Authorizes a chosen agent to make healthcare decisions on the principal’s behalf.
• Springing power of attorney – Takes effect only when a specific condition occurs, such as incapacity.
• Limited or special power of attorney – Grants authority for specific actions, such as selling property or managing one transaction.

What Can a Power of Attorney Do?

A properly drafted POA can provide protection and convenience in many areas of life. Again, you shouldn’t just guess what power of attorney you do or do not need. By sitting down with our team, we can discuss different matters in your life that might need attention in the form of a power of attorney document.

Depending on the type, someone with power of attorney can:

• Manage financial accounts, pay bills, and oversee property transactions.
• Sign contracts, handle business matters, and deal with legal documents.
• Make medical decisions not covered by a healthcare directive.
• Step in temporarily while the principal is traveling or otherwise unavailable.
• Offer reassurance that someone trustworthy will act if unexpected incapacity occurs.

Without a valid POA, loved ones may need to go through a lengthy and expensive court process just to gain authority to act on your behalf. To help everyone avoid complications, you should consider the usefulness of a valid POA now.

How an Attorney Can Help with Powers of Attorney

A power of attorney should be carefully written to be effective and accurate in what you want the agent to be able to do. Vague or outdated documents may be rejected by banks, hospitals, or other institutions, leaving your loved ones without the authority they need.
