St. Petersburg Powers of Attorney Lawyers
Why Choose Us for Your Power of Attorney Needs
Endowing someone with power of attorney means that you are giving them the authority to make decisions on your behalf. Unlike a living will or advance directive, you do not need to be incapacitated for someone with power of attorney to speak for you. They can exercise their authority for as long as you designate them to have powers of attorney.
Granting powers of attorney can endow an individual several privileges, including the legal ability to:
- Handle your finances
- Manage your property
- Make medical decisions should you become incapacitated
- Buy and sell property
- Collect debts
- Oversee business transactions
You can also grant powers of attorney to more than one person. Many people choose to name their spouse and children as attorneys-in-fact. Durable powers of attorney are not just forms – they are powerful documents that should be customized to meet each person’s estate plan, goals, and family situation. Making your own power of attorney from a store bought form can result in difficulties. You should consult with a knowledgeable elder law or estate planning attorney for this kind of document.

As a family member who has provided support for seven family members as they moved through the continuum of being healthy and independent to requiring end-of-life care, I can heartily recommend the Hill and Kinsella Law Firm. I was referred to April Hill by my own stellar estate planning attorney when I needed assistance with my parents in the Tampa Bay area. I couldn't be more pleased with the entire process for creating updated documents to the execution of those documents to follow-up counsel in applying the documents. If you are considering an attorney/firm to help you with this part of your life or are a family member who needs guidance, call Hill and Kinsella. They will make things clear and simple for you.- Tracy S.
