Legal Guidance To Get A Power Of Attorney In Orlando

A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives an individual or entity the authority to act on behalf of another person in case of incapacitation or inability to make decisions independently. In 2011, the regulations guiding POA laws in Florida changed to include additional requirements, such as a mandatory statutory form. Therefore, enlisting legal guidance is crucial, as a simple mistake could invalidate the document.

Law Offices of Mary W. Kaplan, P.L., has substantial experience with estate planning. Our founder, Attorney Mary Kaplan, knows there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. That is why she personalizes her approach to clients in Orlando, Florida. She can also ensure your POA complies with all legal requirements and accurately reflects your intentions.

Reasons You Need A Florida Power Of Attorney

Legal guidance can help you understand the scope of your powers as an attorney-in-fact or the rights and responsibilities you are granting to someone else. This can help prevent misunderstandings and conflicts down the road.

Here are a few things a power of attorney can do:

  • Oversee financial decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated
  • Assist with all financial and legal matters, including paying bills, taxes, cashing checks, selling assets and communicating with banks and legal institutions
  • Protect your business assets and investments, and coordinate with Medicaid insurance
  • Protect against guardianship and conservatorship

You can create and execute a power of attorney form in Florida with the correct legal guidance.
