FAQ

Do I need a lawyer to draft a power of attorney?

It is not legally required to have a lawyer draft a power of attorney, but it is highly recommended. A lawyer can ensure that the document is properly drafted and executed, and that the grantor’s wishes are accurately reflected in the document.

When does a power of attorney take effect?

A power of attorney takes effect as soon as it is signed and witnessed, unless specified otherwise in the document.

Can a power of attorney be revoked or amended?

Yes, a power of attorney can be revoked or amended at any time by the grantor as long as they have capacity to do so.

What happens if the grantor becomes incapacitated and does not have a power of attorney in place?

If the grantor becomes incapacitated and does not have a power of attorney in place, it may be necessary for someone to apply to the court to become their legal guardian. This process can be lengthy and expensive, and it is best to have a power of attorney in place to avoid this situation.

How long does a power of attorney last?

A power of attorney can last for as long as the grantor specifies in the document, or until it is revoked or amended.
