Powers of Attorney

This type of POA does NOT include designating medical decision making authority (that is a separate POA).

For Durable General Powers of Attorney, we recommend you make them effective immediately upon execution. 

For any agent that you appoint, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you choose persons whom you know, love, and trust to serve.  We also recommend that you PLEASE talk with them NOW to make sure they are on board with serving as your agent, and that they also understand your wishes and desires for serving as your agent. 

We recommend that you list a primary agent to serve, and also at least one "alternate agent" as a backup who can serve if your other agent cannot or chooses not to do so.
