Appoint A Trusted Agent To Manage Your Money When You Can’t

A Financial Power of Attorney authorizes someone you trust—your agent—to handle banking, pay bills, manage investments, and deal with real estate if you’re incapacitated. A durable POA stays effective during incapacity, which is when your family needs it most. We draft POAs that coordinate with your broader estate planning so every piece—wills, trusts, and directives—works together.

Continuity Without Court Delays

If you’re injured or ill, life keeps moving—mortgages, utilities, and taxes don’t wait. Without a POA, loved ones may need a court-appointed conservator, which takes time and money. A tailored POA avoids that, letting your agent act immediately with clear written authority you control.

Durable, Immediate, Or Springing—Choose What Fits

Arizona recognizes durable POAs that remain effective during incapacity. Your POA must be properly signed and notarized; some real estate transactions require specific language and recording steps. We’ll help you pick immediate authority or “springing” power that begins after a doctor certifies incapacity, and we include practical instructions for banks and investment firms.

Confidence Comes From The Person You Select

Most people choose a spouse, adult child, or close friend who is organized and financially responsible. Name a successor in case your first choice is unavailable. We’ll talk through scope—broad authority or limited powers—and align it with your goals and tolerance for risk.

Clear Documents, Smooth Execution

We prepare a comprehensive POA, a separate HIPAA release if needed, and guidance for sharing copies with financial institutions. For business owners, we can include authority to operate the business temporarily. Consider pairing your financial POA with a medical power of attorney and a living will for complete incapacity planning.

 Straight Answers for Tucson Families

  • When does it take effect?

    Immediately (if you choose) or upon a doctor’s certification of incapacity for springing powers; it ends at death.

  • Can I still manage my money?

    Yes—you retain control while competent and can revoke the POA anytime.

  • Will banks accept it?

    Properly executed Arizona POAs are widely accepted; we’ll provide guidance if a bank has its own form.

Put authority in the right hands before you need it

We’ll help you sign, notarize, and distribute your POA so it works when life doesn’t go to plan.
