Choose who can step in when you need someone to act for you.
It can be uncomfortable to think about a time when you might need someone else to take care of important matters for you. However, selecting a person in advance and documenting their identity can simplify a challenging situation. That documentation is called a power of attorney. It defines who may act for you and what authority that person will have. It can be written broadly or limited to particular responsibilities.

About Us
At Perkins & Adley, LLP, our law firm serving Plymouth, Indiana is dedicated to addressing your legal needs through advocacy, support, and education.
What you need from this document will depend on why you are creating it. You may want someone to manage financial, legal, or business affairs while you are unavailable. In another situation, you might only need a person to complete one particular task, such as handling the sale of property or managing a specific bank account. Power of attorney documentation may also be part of planning for a future in which you are unable to handle certain financial, healthcare, or personal matters yourself.
