So You're an Attorney under a Power of Attorney

Acting as an Attorney for someone can feel overwhelming. You want to help your person, but now you're suddenly responsible for someone else's finances and legal decisions. Add family dynamics, health issues, and time pressures, and it can quickly feel like more than you signed up for. In our Notary practice, we regularly meet with Attorneys to go through the laws and regulations for Powers of Attorney. People often arrive feeling anxious and uncertain about what their obligations are. They leave feeling clearer, more confident and better prepared to take on their new role. This guide is meant to give you that same starting point: to help you understand what's expected of you, and show you how to manage the work, right through to the day your role comes to an end. Our goal with this guide is simple: to give you clear, practical tools to help you navigate your duties, and to reassure you that you don't have to figure it out alone.
