Should I have a POA?

It is a good idea to have a Power of Attorney, especially when planning for long-term care, provided that you have complete trust in the person that you name as your agent.

A POA is an extremely powerful document that your agent can use for a variety of Medicaid and estate planning needs, both foreseen and unforeseen. Once you sufficiently identify your Medicaid or estate planning needs, you should sign a POA as soon as possible naming a trusted individual as your agent. 

If there is a need to implement or continue your estate plan or gifting program after your possible incapacity, the agent can implement, under your POA, your wishes to the greatest degree possible.

The attorney who served us was kind, thorough, and very responsive. He pointed out some issues in my mother's documents that could have been problematic down the road. After my mother passed, everything was as seamless as possible - a true gift at a time when life and death decisions were being made and emotions were overwhelming. J.B., Cromwell, CT
