Power of Attorney and Living Wills

What is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone—referred to as an agent or attorney-in-fact—to manage your affairs if you’re unable to do so. This could be due to physical illness, mental incapacity, or even absence.

The POA can give your agent broad powers, such as handling financial transactions, making healthcare decisions, or managing property. It can also be specific, limiting your agent to certain actions or timeframes.

How Does a Living Will Come into Play?

A Living Will, also known as an advance healthcare directive, lays out your wishes for medical treatment if you become unable to communicate them yourself. It can guide decisions about life-prolonging measures, pain management, organ donation, and more.

Power of Attorney/Living Will in Personal Injury Cases

In personal injury cases, a POA and Living Will can be crucial. If you’re incapacitated due to an accident, your appointed agent can make decisions on your behalf, including seeking compensation for your injuries. They can liaise with insurance companies, negotiate settlements, and even take legal action if necessary.

Your Living Will ensures that your healthcare preferences are respected during this difficult time. This can prevent disputes and confusion among your loved ones and medical team.
