Reasons to sign a Power of Attorney now / Why a Power of Attorney A Power of Attorney allows your spouse, child or another trusted person to administer your assets during your lifetime, either upon disability or now. The lack of a properly prepared and executed Power of Attorney can cause extreme difficulties when an individual is stricken with severe illness or injury rendering him/her unable to make decisions or manage financial and medical affairs. Any persons are calling now to have a Power of Attorney prepared during the world wide health issues. We can help In the absence of a Power of Attorney or other legal arrangement to distribute property if you become disabled, your family or partner cannot pay your bills or handle your assets. The result can be lengthy delays. The term "durable" in reference to a power of attorney means that the power remains in force for the lifetime of the principal, even if he/she becomes mentally incapacitated. A principal may cancel a power of attorney at any time for any reason. Powers granted on a power of attorney document can be very broad or very narrow in accordance with the needs of the principal. If there is no Power of Attorney, the family has to go through an expensive and complicated Guardianship in the Superior Court. New Jersey has a detailed, expensive legal procedures, called Guardianships or conservatorships, to provide for appointment of a Guardian. These normally require lengthy, formal proceedings and are expensive in court. This means involvement of lawyers to prepare and file the necessary papers and doctors to provide medical testimony regarding the mental incapacity of the subject of the action. Court Costs and fees typically exceed $4,000. A $100 Power of Attorney avoids this aggravation. The procedures also require the involvement of a temporary guardian to investigate, even intercede, in surrogate proceedings.
