The facts ...

If you become sick or disabled, either temporarily or permanently, who will make decisions for you?

                        A Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to handle your affairs if you cannot do so. 

                        If you cannot pay bills, get records or make other decisions, your family will be prevented from helping you get treatment, pay doctors or for Medicare.

                        Without a Power of Attorney, your family may have to file a guardianship action for the disabled person.  This process involves the Court, several lawyers and usually at least $4,000 to $50,000.  A Power of Attorney might cost $200.

                        It is important that you give your family the tools to help you if you cannot help yourself.
