Power of Attorney

Power of Attorney is a valuable estate-planning tool. Decades offers professional Power of Attorney services to senior and developmentally disabled adults.

A Healthcare Power of Attorney is one type of health care directive that designates your wishes for health care if you are ever incapacitated or too ill to speak for yourself.

A Durable Power of Attorney is a directive that gives Decades the authority to handle financial transactions on your behalf.

In both options, a couple may designate Decades as Power of Attorney second to each other, if required. The agreement controls the type of decisions Decades has the authority to act upon. Based on this agreement, our team will oversee medical and/or financial decisions as applicable.

There are many kinds of decisions that a Power of Attorney can be given the power to make, including:

  • Financial decisions

  • Making gifts of money

  • Health care decisions about treatments, services or diagnostic procedures

  • End-of-life decisions
