A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows someone you trust to act on your behalf in financial or health care matters. We can help you prepare POAs that grant authority either immediately or only if you become unable to make decisions yourself. Having a POA can be a practical way to avoid the need for a court-appointed guardian for a disabled adult.
Maryland Statutory Powers of Attorney
Maryland law provides for financial and health care statutory powers of attorney, which allow someone to handle a wide range of legal acts for you. While these forms are helpful, customized POAs drafted with the assistance of an attorney are often more comprehensive and better tailored to your specific needs.
