The agent will have broad authority to dispose of, sell, convey and encumber your real and personal property if you ever become incompetent to do this yourself. Naming an agent can save a great deal in court costs and legal fees, but you should only name someone you trust completely.

An agent appointed by you is given broad powers to handle your legal and financial affairs if you become incapacitated or physically unable to handle such affairs yourself.

Delegated Powers Information Do you have an existing Power of Attorney?*
When is the Power of Attorney effective? * You can make the power of attorney effective now or upon your disability or incapacity. If you choose disability or incapacity, it may take a doctor's note to verify the disability or incapacity which may make using the power of attorney more difficult for your agent. Some institutions may refuse to accept the power of attorney even with a letter from your physician. Thus, making your power of attorney effective immediately increases its likelihood of acceptance and makes it easier for your agent to act on your behalf.
When is the Power of Attorney effective?*
