Undoubtedly, everyone needs a power of attorney. It’s the simplest way to guarantee that decisions are made in your best interest and that your wishes for your property and medical care are followed.

Without a power of attorney, your family may find it very difficult to manage your finances and property and to make medical choices on your behalf if you become incapacitated due to illness or accident. To be able to act on your behalf, they might need to get legal counsel or take other legal action. This might get very pricey and complicated.
