Life is unpredictable. We never know when an unexpected illness or emergency might make it impossible for us to handle our own affairs. That’s why having a properly drafted power of attorney (POA) is so important. At Kostrub Law Firm, we understand how crucial it is to have someone you trust who can step in and make decisions on your behalf when you can’t. We take care of the legal work so you can focus on what truly matters — your peace of mind and your family’s security.
A power of attorney is a legal document that lets you appoint a trusted person — called an agent or attorney-in-fact — to make important decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself. This can cover financial matters, healthcare choices, or both, depending on what you need.
Without a POA, your loved ones might face costly and time-consuming court battles to get permission to manage your affairs. By setting up a POA, you take control in advance, ensuring your wishes are respected exactly as you want them.
At Kostrub Law Firm, we provide personalized guidance to create POA documents that fit your unique needs. Here are the main types we handle:
This allows your agent to manage your bank accounts, pay bills, handle investments, and make financial decisions even if you become incapacitated. It remains valid if you lose mental capacity.
This appoints someone you trust to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to communicate your wishes. Your agent can consult with doctors, approve or refuse treatments, and handle healthcare choices according to your preferences.
Sometimes you might only need to give someone authority over a specific task or for a limited time, like selling a property or managing a business transaction. We help draft POAs that cover exactly what you want and nothing more.
This POA only takes effect after a certain event, such as your incapacitation. It “springs” into action when you cannot make decisions yourself.
Legal documents like POAs can be confusing. At Kostrub Law Firm, we take the time to listen carefully and explain everything in plain language. Here’s how we support you:
We start by understanding your unique situation and concerns. Whether you want to protect your assets, plan for healthcare emergencies, or both, we tailor your POA to fit your exact needs.
Our attorneys draft clear POA documents that leave no room for doubt or misinterpretation. This means your agent will have the legal authority they need without unnecessary complications.
We make sure your POA follows all Pennsylvania laws and is properly executed and notarized, so it’s fully valid when you need it.
By having everything arranged properly, you reduce stress and confusion for your family during difficult times.
