When You Need To Name Powers Of Attorney

Some things in life are beyond your control. One such thing may be the inability to make critical life decisions related to your health or finances. But there is something in your control that will help you get those decisions made even if you no longer have the physical or mental capacity to make them for yourself.

As part of your estate plan, it is important to include and name powers of attorney – loved ones or trusted people whom you want to make decisions for you in financial and health care matters. The Law Office of Anne Sunne Freeman in Palm Harbor, Florida, has more than 11 years of experience guiding Tampa Bay area residents in estate planning matters such as powers of attorney.

• Health care decisions: Whether you are comatose or mentally incapacitated and unable to communicate, a power of attorney will make those health-related decisions.
• Decisions on financial matters: You will gain peace of mind having a power of attorney who can make financial decisions for you if you are unable to do so.
• Matters related to young adult children: A durable power of attorney can provide parents with access to their 18-year-old child’s medical and financial information, allowing them to make medical decisions for an incapacitated child or make sure their bills are paid.
• Resolving HIPAA privacy issues: A well-drafted health care power of attorney can help you avoid any issues with health care providers concerned about the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996.
