Let’s Talk about Durable Power of Attorneys

Our attorneys often stress the importance of having a Durable Power of Attorney if you are over the age of 18. This legal document allows someone you trust to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf, even if you become incapacitated. However, not everyone fully understands what a Durable Power of Attorney is, how it works, or why it’s crucial to have. To help people better understand, attorney Scott Solkoff has created a video explaining everything you need to know. In the video, he covers what a Durable Power of Attorney is, the importance of selecting a trustworthy agent, and answers frequently asked questions to ensure that everyone is well-informed about a crucial document that can ensure important financial and legal decisions can be made quickly and efficiently without unnecessary stress or financial burden.
