A Power of attorney for Property allows you to designate an individual(s) who will manage your financial assets and investments, pay your bills, manage your business in your absence and/or manage your real estate concerns. A Power of Attorney for Property can be very specific, clearly outline what permissions you enable the Attorney to have or withhold, in circumstances under which a Power of Attorney would apply.

A Power of Attorney for Personal Care is similar to a Living Will. Specifically, a Power of Attorney for Personal Care, is a document where you designate one or more persons, typically a partner or close loved one, to make decisions on your behalf regarding your personal care, hygiene, medical treatment and even housing. A Power of Attorney for Personal Care may be used, as an example, in the case of a patient with Dementia who is no longer able to provide their own care and/or who is a danger to themself or others.
