Powers of Attorney in California
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to authorize another person—known as your agent or attorney-in-fact—to handle certain financial or personal matters on your behalf. In California, a Power of Attorney can be customized to meet your specific needs, whether it’s for managing finances, handling real estate transactions, making health care decisions, or taking care of your affairs while you are unavailable.
As Registered Legal Document Assistants (LDA), we can help you prepare the appropriate Power of Attorney forms based on your situation, including:
- Durable Power of Attorney for Finances – allows your agent to manage your financial matters even if you become incapacitated.
- Limited or Special Power of Attorney – grants authority for specific tasks or for a set period of time.
- Advance Health Care Directive (Medical Power of Attorney) – designates someone to make medical and health care decisions for you if you are unable to do so.
We will assist you by preparing the necessary forms accurately and ensuring they are properly executed according to California law. Our goal is to make the process straightforward and stress-free, giving you confidence that your wishes will be respected and your affairs managed as you intend.
