Many people sign a Power of Attorney and assume everything is taken care of. But a POA document gives someone legal authority — it does not explain how you want decisions to be made if your health or abilities change.
This educational session will explain what it truly means to act as a Power of Attorney, where common challenges arise, and why preparation matters before a crisis. We will discuss the common misconception that a POA is only meant for incapacity, and how its intended purpose is to help maintain what is important to you. The session will also introduce Personal Continuity Planning — a structured addendum to a POA that helps clarify your wishes across five key life areas and prepares your Attorney to make decisions that reflect your values. This session is for anyone who has appointed a POA or is acting in that role. Educational session only — no legal advice provided.
