General Durable Power of Attorney

Understanding Financial Power of Attorney

Financial Power of Attorney
A financial power of attorney lets you pick someone you trust, called an Attorney-in-Fact, to handle your money and property if you are unable to do so. This person can pay your bills, manage your bank accounts, and take care of other financial tasks for you.

● A Durable Power of Attorney allows you to appoint a person or people to handle your financial matters in the event you are unable to handle your own affairs.

● A Durable Power of Attorney helps to avoid the need for Probate Court proceedings in the event you do become incapacitated and cannot handle your own finances.

● Durable Powers of Attorney are a useful tool for avoiding Probate Court, court costs, and attorney fees.

● Durable Powers of Attorney are also helpful in making sure that the individual(s) you designate to act on your behalf are appointed rather than having the court appoint someone for you, who could be a stranger to you and your family.

Summary Benefits of Durable Power of Attorney

‍

Peace of Mind
Knowing that someone you trust will handle your finances can give you peace of mind. This means you don’t have to worry about who will take care of things if something happens to you.

‍

Avoiding Legal Complications
Without a power of attorney, your family could have to go to court to get the right to make decisions for you. They may also be restricted from legally managing your financial affairs as you would have wanted. This court process can be expensive and time-consuming. Often times a power of attorney can prevent this.

Testimonials

“I have had the privilege of working with Jennifer in a professional capacity with shared probate clients, as well as being a client myself. Her knowledge and professionalism are exception. Her ability to help navigate and defend her clients during challenging familial situations in probate is impressive. She has personally helped my husband and I plan for our children through a living trust. It is a sensitive and difficult process, but she patiently and compassionately helped us tackle the tough decisions. We are at peace knowing our children will be protected in the event of tragedy. I recommend her for estate planning and probate situations and look forward to maintaining a long lasting professional relationship with her and her team.”

“For the past five years, we have discussed the importance of developing an Estate Plan. We listened to our friends and family as they discussed the process. We were not looking forward to it. Then, we spoke with our accountant who gave us the best tip ever. Meet with Jennifer Sadecki Parison and she will make the experience painless. Wow, how true! We were thrilled with the professional, efficient and detailed Estate Plan that was designed for us by Jennifer. In three meetings, with the price given to us at the first meeting, we completed the process. It was thought provoking and comforting to know that our family’s best interests were met in our Estate Plan. Jennifer is so very knowledgeable, trustworthy and listened to our concerns. She also gave us time to think about areas that we had really never considered. This professionalism, coupled by Jennifer’s legal background, made for a wonderful experience. Thank you, Jennifer. We feel fortunate to have worked with you.” —Steve and Gloria S.

“Jennifer Sadecki Parison has been our Attorney for several years now. She has represented us on a level unlike any lawyer we’ve used before. What we admire about Jennifer is everything she represents as a person and an attorney. She is extremely personable and easy to talk to, therefore has the ability to put you at ease immediately. She can also explain either a confusing document or a potential situation in layman terms which is unbelievably beneficial to those of us that don’t have a degree. Everything that Jennifer has done for us has been above reproach and always exceeds our expectations. She has a perfect balance of tenacity, professionalism and compassion. What wonderful qualities to have wrapped up in one attorney!! I’ve often told her, “You were made for this job!!!” Jennifer, thanks for just being you and all that you’ve done for us… you’re truly the BEST!!!!!”
—Andrew and Michelle S.

“Nearly five years ago, I accepted the position of Durable Power of Attorney for two elderly sisters who were friends of our family. They each had numerous assets compiled of many different types of investments. I had no experience in that role so Jennifer said she would help me learn and carry out my responsibilities. She did an amazing job teaching and helping me every step of the way. After both sisters passed, I then took on the new role of Successor Trustee with the responsibility to convert all assets to cash and distribute it to the various recipients per each sister's Trust. Again, Jennifer and her assistant, Maureen, were invaluable, helping me through the entire process. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend Jennifer and Maureen. They are extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient. I was so impressed with the whole process that my wife and I are using them to update our Trust. I wouldn’t even consider using anyone else!”
—Tom M.

“Working with Jennifer to update our trust was such a wonderful and informative experience for us. Jennifer is so knowledgeable and professional in everything she does. Could not have asked for a better Attorney and Counselor at Law. Thank you!”
—John and Linda M.
