Protecting Your Future with a Power of Attorney and a Health Care Proxy
Who will take care of you and your finances and health care decision making if you become incapacitated?
The power of attorney is a financial document that names who will step in and take care of an individual’s finances if he is physically or mentally unable to handle them himself. The health care proxy does the same thing in the medical world. People often do not want to make decisions about naming a power of attorney or a health care proxy, but procrastinating is not the best option.
