Who Needs a Power of Attorney?

March 8, 2024 by By Beverly Carter, President of Think Local First Society & CEO of Carter Notary — Power of Attorney

https://youtu.be/MmGPaG2H_-8

Everybody should have a Power of Attorney. The general rule of thumb is if you own a house, you should have a Power of Attorney. A lot of people think that Powers of Attorney are for when you’re old and that is absolutely not the case.

A Power of Attorney is a powerful, important document for whenever something unexpected happens in your life. You could be traveling when some random event happens. Then, having that Power of Attorney is basically having a person back at home who can step in and deal with an issue if something comes up.

If you’re past the age of 50, you should have a Power of Attorney. You know the odds are that aging brings on health issues, and it’s not always our own health issues. It can be other people’s health issues that can take our time away from being able to manage our own day-to-day affairs.

When you have a Power of Attorney in place, you’ve got a backup plan. At Carter Notary, we believe it’s really important that people know it’s there. It’s an important document, it’s a powerful document. And when you need it, and even if you only need it once, it’s a very important once.

Contact Carter Notary today to find out how we can help you with your Real Estate, Notarization, and Estate Planning needs.
