When Do I Need a Power of Attorney?

You can benefit from a Power of Attorney if you can not perform your personal or business affairs, or make important medical decisions because of a physical or mental impairment. However, it is wise to get a Power of Attorney before you need it. Think of a Power of Attorney as an insurance policy. It is a good idea to have one in place, just in case. People tend to need a Power of Attorney when they least expect it or when it is too late.
