Lasting power of attorney

Why You Should Create a Future Power of Attorney 

An accident or illness can strike when you least expect it. That’s why it’s a good idea to have a future power of attorney. 

With a future power of attorney, you give someone else permission to make decisions on your behalf if you are no longer able to do so yourself. This could include: 

• Making agreements with your bank 
• Applying for subsidies for your medication 
• Applying for home care or assisted living
