Ensuring the smooth handling of your financial and legal affairs when you are unable to manage them yourself is crucial. Enter the realm of Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA). In Folsom, CPT Law is your ally, ready to assist you in creating a DPOA tailored to your unique needs.
A Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) is a legal document. This document works at times when you can’t take legal decisions yourself. It grants you the ability to designate a trusted person to make any important legal decisions on your behalf.
Why Consider A Durable Power of Attorney?
A Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) is an indispensable tool in your estate planning arsenal. This document lets you appoint a trusted person, known as your “agent” or “attorney-in-fact.” The agent will step in when independent decision-making is not possible.
Your agent assumes responsibilities such as:
Managing Financial Affairs
Financial affairs is an important thing as this is all your hard-earned money and means the most to you. If you can’t manage it yourself, your agent takes the charge. The agent will handle bill payments, investment management, and account access to ensure the safety of funds.
Legal Decision-Making
The DPOA empowers your agent to make legal decisions, such as signing contracts or handling legal disputes on your behalf. This extends to managing necessary legal paperwork, writing a will or probate, and advocating for your interests.
Healthcare Matters
Besides management of financial affairs and legal decision-making, the DPOA extends its to healthcare matters. While not a Healthcare Power of Attorney, your agent may have authority over healthcare decisions, playing a supportive role in ensuring your overall well-being.

what will happen if you don’t have a durable power of attorney?
If you don’t have a Durable Power of Attorney in place, your loved ones will have to petition the court to obtain a guardianship over you. This is a difficult process for loved ones. They have to serve you with paperwork and take you to court. Because the court system can be slow, you will likely have a temporary guardian while your loved ones wait to be named permanent guardians. This is expensive and embarrassing, and it means a stranger will care for you. Getting a Durable Power of Attorney in place allows your family to avoid this challenging situation. Instead, they can seamlessly transition into making critical decisions on your behalf.

when should you create a durable power of attorney?
It is never too early to create a Durable Power of Attorney as part of your estate plan. If you wait until you are incapacitated, you cannot legally enter into such an agreement. Because a Durable Power of Attorney won’t go into effect until you’re incapacitated, you can create it today while you’re healthy without it impacting your decision-making process. It will then be ready to kick in if you are to become incapacitated and can’t make decisions for yourself.
revoking a durable power of attorney
If you are of sound mind, you can legally revoke a Durable Power of Attorney in California. The state requires that you create an official statement of revocation to invalidate the Durable Power of Attorney. After you create the document, you must distribute it to all people involved with the original power of attorney. However, if your spouse was the agent and you dissolve your marriage, you do not need to revoke it. The court will automatically terminate the agreement, and you will need to select a new agent.
