Know About The Different Power Of Attorney Lawyers

Power of attorney is one of the important legal documents that gives someone authority to make decisions for you or act on your behalf, if you are no longer in a state to do so or if you don’t want to do. This moment may arise for you:

•  If you are in a temporary situation where you cannot take the decision.
• If you want to make long-term planning. For if you are diagnosed with the ini8t8ial stage of Alzheimer's.

• Medical Power attorney: The agent is assigned to act on the medical and health decisions of the principal.
• Springing power of attorney: This arises when the principal is not available and the situation demands some decisions to be taken on the behalf of the principal.
