Houston Power of Attorney Lawyer

We take for granted the ability to manage our own financial, legal, and administrative affairs. It can be difficult for us to think about someone else having to make important decisions on our behalf. However, in the event of physical or mental incapacitation, a power of attorney is an efficient and cost effective means for an individual to manage his or her personal, financial and health related affairs.

At Schwab & Radcliffe, P.C., we work with individuals and families in appointing powers of attorney, who act on behalf of individuals who may not be able to make important decisions on their own.

Why Get a Power of Attorney?

There are a number of situations in which having a power of attorney may be beneficial. Powers of attorney are particularly helpful when an individual becomes incapacitated and unable to make decisions on his or her own behalf.

There are different powers of attorney available to meet a variety of legal needs:

• Healthcare power of attorney - A medical power of attorney is appointed to make important health decisions on behalf of another when that person is unable to do so.
• Durable power of attorney - A durable power of attorney is appointed to act on behalf of an individual who is incapacitated or otherwise unable to make financial decisions on their own. A durable power of attorney can be used in unexpected situations, for example, if an individual becomes disabled from an accident. This designation becomes "durable" because an individual can choose when it starts.
• Limited power of attorney - A limited power of attorney has the ability to manage a specific area of another individual's affairs. This could include real estate matters, finances, tax returns and other important specific matters.

At Schwab & Radcliffe, P.C., we provide cost-effective and practical estate planning resources to clients throughout the Houston metropolitan area. We take the time to understand the goals of each client, and come up with constructive, efficient means of achieving those goals.
