Make Sure Someone Can Step In When You Can’t

Life happens. Accidents, illness, or age can make it hard—or impossible—to handle your own finances. A durable power of attorney (POA) gives someone you trust the legal authority to act on your behalf if that ever happens.



We help people across Georgia set up POAs that are crystal clear, legally binding, and built to protect what matters. It’s a simple step with a big impact—and every estate plan should have one.

What Is a Durable Power of Attorney?

It’s a legal document that lets you appoint someone (called your “agent” or “attorney-in-fact”) to handle financial matters if you become unable to do so. “Durable” means it stays in effect even if you’re incapacitated.

What Your Agent Can Do:

Depending on how it’s written, your agent can:

Pay your bills and manage accounts

Two black chevrons pointing to the right.

Handle real estate or business affairs

Two parallel black chevrons pointing right.

File taxes or apply for benefits

This isn’t just for older adults. Every adult should have one—especially if you own property, run a business, or have loved ones depending on you.

Common Questions About POAs:

  • Can I still make decisions if I have a POA?

    Yes. A POA doesn’t take away your rights. It just allows someone else to act if you ever can’t.

  • Can I name more than one agent?

    Yes, and we’ll help you decide whether they act together or separately.

  • Can I cancel it later?

    Absolutely. You can revoke or update your POA at any time—as long as you’re legally capable.

  • Does this cover medical decisions?

    No, that’s a separate document called an advance healthcare directive. We help with those too.
