CPT Law – Your Partner For Financial Security!
When faced with the inability to manage your financial and legal matters yourself, handling them without any issues is crucial. So, you’ll need the Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA). In San Francisco, CPT Law stands ready to assist you with DPOA and guide you through its creation.
DPOA acts as a legal tool that grants you the authority to designate a trusted person. He or she undertakes significant legal decisions on your behalf. The document becomes indispensable at critical moments when you cannot handle matters independently.
Does Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) Work?
Understanding the necessity of a DPOA is paramount in your estate planning toolkit. This legal document empowers you to designate a trusted individual, referred to as your “agent” or “attorney-in-fact.” In times when you can’t make decisions, your agent steps in to:
Manage Financial Affairs
Your agent takes charge of tasks such as bill payments, investment management, and account access. He or she preserves your financial well-being by diligently handling financial transactions, maintaining records, and making prudent decisions.
Legal Decision-Making
Your DPOA grants your agent authority to make legal decisions, including signing contracts or handling legal disputes on your behalf. This extends to managing necessary legal paperwork and advocating for your interests, providing you with a reliable legal representative.
Healthcare Matters
While not a Healthcare Power of Attorney, your agent may also have the authority to decide on your healthcare and medical treatment. They play a supportive role in ensuring your overall well-being through appropriate healthcare decisions.

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.
