What is the Durable Power of Attorney?
A Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document that grants another person the authority to manage one's financial affairs on their behalf. This document is crucial in estate planning to safeguard the estate by helping to protect your financial and business holdings.
Safeguarding Your Financial and Business Holdings
Without this, your loved ones may have to go through a lengthy and expensive court process to gain control for you. This can result in financial loss and disruption of your business operations.
