Denver Financial Power of Attorney

A durable financial power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone the authority to oversee your finances. This in the event that you are unable to do so because you have become mentally and/or physically incapacitated. Making sure that you have a durable financial power of attorney can be critical to ensuring that your financial matters are properly handled. You should name someone you trust if or when you cannot handle these matters on your own at any point.

How Durable Financial Powers of Attorney Work

Also referred to as a durable power of attorney for finances, a durable financial power of attorney works similarly to a durable medical power of attorney in that this type of directive:

• Specifically appoints some individual to be the agent or attorney-in-fact who will act on your behalf.
• Clearly outlines your wishes for how certain matters should be handled.

A Durable financial powers of attorney can be simple or as complicated as a person wants them to be. For instance, while a simple durable financial power of attorney may only direct that an agent oversee a specific financial transaction (like, for instance, a real estate deal), a more complicated financial directive can empower an agent to do things like:

• Oversee a person’s bank and investment accounts
• Pay taxes on behalf of the ailing individual
• Deposit Social Security checks on behalf of the ailing individual
• Manage other assets like, for example, businesses, real estate holdings, etc.

Also the agent named in a durable financial power of attorney does not have to be a financial expert. Instead, this agent simply should be someone whom an individual trusts with their important financial matters. When agents are not financial experts, durable financial powers of attorney can specifically dictate when agents can hire other financial experts (like accountants). They can help to assist in carrying out the directives in the durable financial power of attorney.
