Re: Power of Attorney
Depends on the nature and purpose of the POA. A POA will not allow you to make healthcare decisions, and depending on its nature may or may not be effective if the grantor gets sick or otherwise becomes incapacitated to a degree that he no longer becomes able to grant consent. If you would like to review your situation, please feel free to call for a consultation.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
