Financial Power Of Attorney

A durable financial power of attorney is one of the most important “life planning” documents because it helps protect you if you are alive but unable to manage your own affairs. This package is built to help you appoint a trusted agent to handle financial and property matters when needed, and it includes supporting documents that make the power of attorney easier to use in the real world and easier to replace later if your situation changes.

The Financial Power of Attorney form lets you grant authority to an agent for the specific categories of powers you choose. Depending on how it is completed and what your state permits, an agent may be able to work with banks, pay bills, manage accounts, handle real estate paperwork, deal with insurance and benefits, and take other actions you authorize. “Durable” means the authority is intended to continue even if you later become incapacitated, which is the reason most people sign one in the first place.

To help reduce delays with financial institutions, this package includes an Agent Certification. Many banks and brokerages prefer a short certification that confirms the power is in effect and the agent is acting within the authority granted. The package also includes a POA Revocation form, which provides a clear way to revoke and replace the document if you change agents, update your plan, or simply want to put a new power of attorney in place. Finally, the Financial POA Instructions walk you through key choices, completion steps, and practical signing guidance.
