Revoking power attorney

T. Phillip B.

Answered Feb 18, 2022

Typically anything written which indicates you are revoking it should be sufficient. It should be delivered to your agent. I would also deliver it to any banks or other places where your agent may use the POA.

Last Will and Testament

California

Asked on Apr 24, 2023

Can I create an estate plan without the help of a lawyer?

I am in my mid-fifties and have recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness. I have a large estate that I would like to be distributed to my family and friends when I pass away. I have done some research and understand the importance of having an estate plan, but I am not sure if I am able to create one without the help of a lawyer. I am looking for more information that will help me make the best decision for my family and myself.

Philip M.

Answered May 12, 2023

You can certainly go ahead and fill out simple forms to complete some easy estate planning documents like wills, but for more complicated documents like a trust (which is required if you want to avoid probate) it can get a little trickier. Further, anyone can fill in the blanks, but an experienced attorney will be able to explain what the document does and how it meets your wishes best. Hope this helps.

Do I need a lawyer to get a power of attorney

My uncle is an elderly man and his wife passed away in January of this year. She did everything as far handling all of the important things. He doesn't understand a lot of things. He asked me if I would take over everything for him. So I think I need to get a power of attorney to be able to do tnat.

Rebecca R.

Answered May 3, 2022

A power of attorney allows you to make decisions and dispose of property, it does sound like one might be helpful in your situation. When an attorney writes up the power of attorney, you have a range of permissions to cover all the needs of your individual situation. You’ll want to be sure that you have the ability to write checks, etc. Additionally, the power of attorney will be useful if other family members challenge your decisions or actions. Drafting the document is a fairly straightforward process, and most attorneys will bill 1-2 hours depending on whether you need additional documents for healthcare and estate decisions.

Answered Jun 7, 2022

Hello. In your case, a power of attorney should be: 1. Signed by your father, 2. Notarized, and 3. Attested by a witness who is not named as an agent. Although your father is under house arrest, it is possible to arrange the signing at his house.

Durable Power of Attorney for Finances

Kentucky

Asked on Sep 28, 2025

Who do I get for power of attorney

I need questions answered my husband just passed so do I need to get a power of attorney while I m at my right mind

Randy M.

Answered Sep 29, 2025

A power of attorney (POA) is only effective while the person who created it (the “principal”) is alive. Once the principal dies, the POA automatically ends. That means you cannot use your husband’s POA now that he has passed, and any authority you may have had under a POA he gave you is no longer valid. The law is uniform on this point across all U.S. states. After death, the legal authority to handle someone’s affairs shifts to the executor named in their will or, if no will exists, to an administrator appointed by the probate court. As the surviving spouse, you typically have priority to be appointed as administrator if your husband left no will. This is the process by which debts, taxes, and distributions of property are handled. Why You Should Still Consider a Power of Attorney Although you don’t need a POA for your husband, you may want to create one for yourself while you’re mentally capable. This is an important part of estate planning and ensures that if you ever become incapacitated, someone you trust can step in seamlessly. There are two key types of POA most people establish: 1. Durable Financial Power of Attorney: Authorizes your agent (sometimes called attorney-in-fact) to manage financial matters—paying bills, handling banking, managing property—if you can’t. It’s “durable” because it remains valid even if you lose capacity. 2. Healthcare Power of Attorney (or Healthcare Proxy): Authorizes your agent to make medical decisions if you’re unable to speak for yourself. Most people also prepare a living will/advance directive alongside a healthcare POA. This document sets out your specific wishes for end-of-life treatment so your agent isn’t left guessing. Choosing the Right Agent The choice of agent is vital. This person will hold significant authority, and you should only appoint someone you trust completely. Common choices include an adult child, a close family member, or a trusted friend. In more complex cases, some people name a professional fiduciary or financial institution. When deciding, weigh these factors: • Trustworthiness and integrity: They’ll be in a position to make decisions that directly affect your finances or health. • Financial responsibility: Especially relevant if they’ll be handling your money. • Willingness and availability: Make sure the person accepts the responsibility in advance. • Location: It’s not a strict requirement, but someone nearby can often act more quickly when urgent matters arise. It’s also wise to name a successor agent in case your first choice is unable or unwilling to serve. Immediate Steps After Losing a Spouse Separate from your own planning, you’ll likely need to address your husband’s estate. If he had a will, the executor named there should take the lead. If there’s no will, you can apply to probate court to be appointed administrator. Alongside that, you may need to update your own estate planning documents, review and change beneficiary designations, and notify Social Security, banks, and insurance companies. An estate attorney can guide you through both the probate process and setting up your own documents. The attorneys here on Contracts Counsel would be happy to assist you.
