With the proliferation of on-line services, document preparation programs, and Google searches, anyone can get access to a form document and prepare a general financial power of attorney. But is that wise?

Powers of Attorney are Powerful Documents. A general financial power of attorney (“Power of Attorney”) is a powerful legal document.  It can give tremendous authority to another person (the “Agent”), including the right to access your bank and investment accounts and to sell your property.  It is not something you should enter into lightly.

Listen to Lamb McErlane PC attorney Stephanie Pahides Kalogredis & legal staff assistant Michelle Long to learn more about what you need to know regarding a power of attorney.
