What does it mean to be someone’s Agent under a Power of Attorney?

Posted on July 26, 2016 by

So someone (principal) appoints you his/her agent under a Power of Attorney (“POA”). You understand the basics that you have been given the authority to handle affairs on the person’s behalf but what exactly does that mean? Are you liable…

What our clients are saying

We were extremely happy with the clear and thorough job done by NJ Elder Care Law Center. They clarified many complex estate planning issues for us.

- Karen and Robert I.

Your compassion and understanding in such a difficult time is very comforting, especially when the business side of a loved one's passing needs to be addressed. Knowing you are a phone call away to handle an unforeseen problem has brought instant relief. That someone has my back, guiding and protecting the estate, means more than words can express. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Your firm was very welcoming and understanding of our needs. We felt we were kept well advised and spoken to in an understanding manner, not just "legaleze". Thanks!
