How to Choose a Power of Attorney (POA): Key Considerations Selecting the right person to act as your Power of Attorney is one of the most important decisions you can make for your future. Here’s what you should consider: Trustworthiness: Choose someone you trust to make decisions in your best interest, even when you can’t. Financial Responsibility: If managing finances, they should be organized and fiscally responsible. Location: Ideally, they should live nearby for ease of access during emergencies. Legal Knowledge: While they don’t need to be a lawyer, understanding legal and medical decisions is a plus. Communication: Your POA must clearly understand your wishes and values, ensuring your decisions are honored. Remember, your POA should be someone who is capable of stepping into your shoes with love, responsibility, and the wisdom to act in your best interest. #cdalawyer #silversummitlaw #estateplanning #powerofattorney #wills #trust

An Advance Directive in Idaho is a legal document outlining your healthcare preferences if you’re unable to make decisions. It includes a Living Will for treatment wishes and a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare to appoint a decision-maker. Why Include It in Your Trust? 1. Respects Your Wishes: Ensures your healthcare decisions are legally clear. 2. Prevents Family Conflict: Reduces disputes by designating a trusted person. 3. Protects Your Estate: Prevents costly medical interventions. 4. Complements Your Trust: Manages both your assets and healthcare together. Including an Advance Directive in your trust ensures your healthcare and financial wishes are honored. #estateplanning #trust #wills #advancedirective #lawyer #cdalawyer #coeurdalene
