FUTURE POWER OF ATTORNEY

A future power of attorney is a power of attorney that you give to one or more people to carry out tasks for you when you are no longer able to manage your financial and personal affairs. A power of attorney is a personal alternative to a guardian or trustee. With a future power of attorney, you avoid the risk of being governed by a randomly appointed guardian or trustee and can choose someone you trust instead.

For a power of attorney to be valid, the document must be in writing, signed and witnessed by two people. The future power of attorney strengthens your right to self-determination by improving your ability to plan your future and maintain control over matters that are of great importance to you and your life.
