Who should I choose as my agent for a Durable Power of Attorney?

Your agent should be someone you trust to handle your personal, financial, or healthcare matters if you're unable to. This could be a family member, a close friend, or even a professional like an attorney or financial advisor.

Can I change my Durable Power of Attorney later on?

Yes, as long as your DPOA is revocable, you can make changes at any time, as long as you’re mentally competent to do so. We can help you update it when needed.

What happens if I don’t set up a Durable Power of Attorney?

Without a DPOA, your family may need to go through a lengthy and costly court process to appoint a guardian or conservator to manage your affairs if you're unable to do so yourself.

Can my agent make healthcare decisions for me?

Yes, if you include healthcare decisions in your DPOA, your agent can make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re incapacitated. You can also set up a separate healthcare power of attorney if needed.

What is the difference between a Durable Power of Attorney and a regular power of attorney?

A regular power of attorney is only valid while you're mentally competent. A Durable Power of Attorney remains in effect even if you become incapacitated, making it a critical tool for long-term planning.

How do I know if my Durable Power of Attorney is legally valid?

For your DPOA to be valid in Utah, it must be properly signed and notarized. We ensure that all legal requirements are met so that your DPOA is enforceable when needed.

What Is a Durable Power of Attorney and Why Do You Need One?

A Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) is a legal document that allows you to designate someone you trust to manage your financial, legal, and healthcare decisions if you're unable to do so yourself. Unlike a regular power of attorney, a DPOA remains effective even if you become incapacitated.

Why Do You Need a Durable Power of Attorney?

Peace of Mind: A DPOA allows someone you trust to make decisions for you when you can’t.
Prevent Court Involvement: Without a DPOA, your family may have to go to court to appoint a guardian if you’re unable to manage your affairs.
Plan for Incapacity: If you become ill or incapacitated, your agent can step in and manage your assets, ensuring everything continues to run smoothly.

Having a DPOA in place makes sure that decisions about your life and assets are made according to your wishes, without unnecessary legal challenges.
