<strong>The</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jeffrey</strong> P. <strong>Story</strong> <strong>Advises</strong> on Selecting a Power <strong>of</strong> Attorney
Evanston, Illinois October 25, 2019: While some elderly individuals have chosen
their Power <strong>of</strong> Attorney, others may not be so fortunate. <strong>The</strong>refore, the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong>
<strong>Jeffrey</strong> P. <strong>Story</strong> gives straightforward and valuable advice on choosing a trustworthy
Power <strong>of</strong> Attorney.
A Power <strong>of</strong> Attorney (POA) has the legal right to act on an individual’s legal or
financial behalf in specific or nonspecific ways based on the legal document.
However, an individual who has a window and access to another individual’s legal
and financial information has a measure <strong>of</strong> control. Following a simple protocol will
help individuals, especially elderly people who may not have family or other trusted
persons in their life, make a sound decision when choosing a designated POA.
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jeffrey</strong> P. <strong>Story</strong> strongly suggests clients hire a third-party Power <strong>of</strong>
Attorney. This is a service for hire, which may or may not work on an hourly basis.
POAs for hire can work with small or larger estates. <strong>The</strong>re is an ice-breaking period
when looking to work with a third-party. First, individuals should seek out vetted
POAs for hire and disclose all wishes in a Letter <strong>of</strong> Intent. Clients should be upfront
with potential third-party POAs about property and health care intentions. <strong>The</strong> best
time to plan and talk to a third-party POA is now.
