ENDURING POWER OF ATTORNEY

Financial --- Enduring Power of Attorney is prepared to take care of the financial side of a person’s life should they be still alive but unable to communicate.  For example, if someone has a stroke and can no longer speak or if they are in a coma.  This document becomes critical for the person (attorney) appointed to be able to handle all financial matters on that person’s behalf.  The important point here is that this document, although it may be prepared and signed today, does not take effect until 2 medical professionals have declared the person incompetent to handle their own financial affairs.
