Creating a Power of Attorney is a vital step in ensuring that your financial and healthcare decisions are handled according to your wishes, especially in unforeseen circumstances.

In Arizona, our professional document preparation services are designed to be affordable, efficient, and tailored to meet your unique needs, ensuring that your Power of Attorney documents are accurately prepared and legally sound.

Understanding Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants someone you trust the authority to act on your behalf in financial, legal, or healthcare matters. This designation is crucial for managing your affairs if you become unable to do so yourself due to illness, injury, or other circumstances.

What Is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney allows you to appoint an agent (also known as an attorney-in-fact) who can make decisions and take actions on your behalf. There are different types of POAs, each serving a specific purpose:

  • Durable Power of Attorney: This type of POA remains in effect even if you become incapacitated. It allows your agent to manage your financial affairs, make investments, pay bills, and handle other financial matters.

  • Healthcare Power of Attorney: Also known as a Medical Power of Attorney, this document grants your agent the authority to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to communicate your wishes. This includes decisions about treatments, surgeries, and end-of-life care.

When you need both financial and healthcare decisions to be managed, you can opt for a combined package, ensuring comprehensive coverage of your needs.

The Process of Creating a Power of Attorney

Establishing a Power of Attorney involves several steps to ensure that your documents are correctly prepared and legally binding. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect when you choose our document preparation services:

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We begin with an initial consultation to understand your specific needs and goals. This meeting allows us to gather essential information about your financial situation, healthcare preferences, and the individuals you wish to appoint as your agents.

Based on the information provided, our team prepares the necessary Power of Attorney documents. We tailor each document to reflect your unique circumstances and ensure that all legal requirements are met according to Arizona law.
