If you can't speak for yourself, who handles your money?

This document makes sure the right person does — and that no court has to decide for you.


Most people never think about what happens to their finances during a medical crisis — not after death, but while they're still alive and simply unable to manage things themselves. A sudden stroke. A serious accident. A cognitive decline that comes on faster than expected. If you become incapacitated without a Durable Power of Attorney, your family cannot legally access your accounts, pay your bills, manage your investments, or make financial decisions on your behalf — no matter how close they are to you.


To get that authority, they must petition a court for conservatorship. That process takes months, costs thousands, and plays out publicly while your financial life sits frozen. This document prevents all of that.


WHAT IT IS

A Durable Power of Attorney (Financial) is a legal document that designates a trusted person — your Agent — to manage your financial affairs on your behalf. "Durable" means it remains valid even after you become incapacitated, which is precisely when you need it most. Your Agent can pay your bills, manage your investments, handle your real estate, file your taxes, and make financial decisions in your name — all without court supervision. You choose who. You define the scope. You remain in control of the document while you're well, and your Agent steps in only when needed.


WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • ✅ Durable Power of Attorney (Financial) Template — Comprehensive document designating your Agent and defining their authority to manage your financial affairs
  • ✅ Step-by-Step Completion Guide — Walks you through naming your Agent and Successor Agent, defining scope of authority, and completing all signing and notarization requirements
  • ✅ Document Checklist — Everything you need to gather before you sit down

WHO THIS IS FOR

This document is for you if:

  • You have bank accounts, investments, property, or any financial asset that would need managing if you were suddenly unable to do it yourself
  • You are the person your family depends on financially — and you've never thought about what happens if you're suddenly unavailable
  • You have aging parents and want to understand this document before helping them complete their own
  • You've watched a family member go through the painful, expensive process of court-ordered conservatorship — and you refuse to put your family through the same
  • You believe in making your own decisions, including the decision of who makes decisions for you when you can't

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Purchase & Download — Your document template and Completion Guide arrive instantly in your inbox.
  2. Name Your Agent — Choose the person you trust most with your financial life. The guide helps you think through this decision and name a Successor Agent as backup.
  3. Define the Authority — The guide walks you through the scope of your Agent's powers and any limitations you want to place.
  4. Sign & Notarize — Your guide includes exact requirements for signing, witnessing, and notarization to make your document legally valid.

THE STAKES

Without a Durable Power of Attorney, the people who love you most are legally powerless over your finances during a crisis. Your partner cannot access a joint account that's solely in your name. Your adult child cannot pay your mortgage. Your sibling cannot manage your investment portfolio. They must go to court — a process called conservatorship — that costs an average of $3,000–$5,000 in legal fees, takes months, requires regular court reporting, and strips your family of the private, dignified handling of your affairs that you deserved.


Attorney-prepared Financial POAs typically run $300–$600 on top of a broader estate planning engagement. This document is $97. The protection is identical. The path to get there is guided, step by step, from your own kitchen table.


ADD-ONS — COMPLETE YOUR INCAPACITY PLAN

A Financial POA protects your money. These documents protect everything else.

I cannot tell you what it meant to not have to fight for that access while I was also fighting for his life." — Renee B., Memphis, TN
