Power of Attorney & Advance Directives in Idaho
A Power of Attorney ensures that important decisions stay in trusted hands if you become unable to make them yourself. Every Idaho estate plan should include both a Financial Power of Attorney and a Health Care Power of Attorney, along with a Living Will or Advance Directive.
I help clients create clear, legally sound documents that protect their wishes and reduce stress for loved ones.
Types of Power of Attorney Documents I Draft
Durable Financial Power of Attorney
Authorizes someone you trust to handle financial and legal matters on your behalf.Health Care Power of Attorney
Allows a trusted decision-maker to manage medical choices if you cannot.Living Will / Advance Directive
Outlines your preferences for end-of-life care and medical treatment.
Why Every Adult Needs These Documents
Accidents and illnesses can happen unexpectedly. Without these documents:
Family members may not have legal authority to help
Important medical decisions may be delayed
A court may need to appoint a guardian
Financial accounts could be inaccessible
A Power of Attorney ensures decisions remain private, quick, and handled by the person you trust most.
Common Situations Where a POA Helps
Medical emergencies
Surgery or hospital stays
Long-term planning for aging
Managing finances during incapacity
Ensuring your wishes are honored
