How Our Attorneys Can Help You

There are several types of POAs, each designed to address specific needs and circumstances. From managing finances and healthcare decisions to addressing specific purposes or durations, understanding the types of POAs available is essential for effective estate planning and ensuring your interests are protected.

Our attorneys can help with:

General Power of Attorney: Delegate financial control while maintaining decision-making power.
Healthcare Power of Attorney: Empowers someone to make medical decisions if you can't.
Durable Power of Attorney: Remains in effect even if you become incapacitated, ensuring ongoing decision-making.
Limited Power of Attorney: Grants specific authority for designated purposes or durations of time.

The POA Process

Whether you need a General, Limited, Durable, Healthcare, or Financial power of attorney, our skilled team can guide you to creating a POA that protects your interests. Below is an overview of the power of attorney process.

Step 1: Determining the Type of POA Needed

Before creating a power of attorney, you must determine the type of POA you need. This depends on the principal's intentions and circumstances. For instance, a General POA grants broad authority to the agent over various matters, while a Healthcare POA specifically covers medical decisions.

Step 2: Choosing a POA Lawyer

It's essential to choose an attorney with expertise in estate planning and POAs, especially one familiar with Washington State laws. At Kirschner Rychlick PLLC, our qualified Bellevue POA lawyer can provide valuable legal advice, explain your options, and ensure that your document complies with state regulations. They will also act as a trustworthy advisor throughout the process, helping the principal make informed decisions regarding the appointment of an agent and the scope of powers granted.

Step 3: Drafting the POA Document

A power of attorney is a legally binding contract that outlines the principal's wishes, the agent's responsibilities, and the scope of authority granted. It must be carefully drafted to align with Washington State laws.

A knowledgeable Bellevue POA attorney will draft the document accurately, ensuring it meets all legal requirements. They will customize the document to reflect the principal's specific needs and intentions.

The attorney will also provide clear instructions on how the POA should be executed, including any limitations or conditions.

Step 4: Executing and Notarizing the Document

Once the POA document is prepared, the principal should sign it in the presence of a notary public. If necessary, two witnesses may also be required. Notarization plays a crucial role in confirming the document's legitimacy and legality, ensuring the principal's signature is authentic and voluntary.
