Frequently Asked Questions
What is a power of attorney used for in elder care?
A power of attorney allows a designated person to make financial or healthcare decisions on behalf of an aging family member who can no longer do so themselves.
Is a flat fee or hourly rate better?
Flat fees offer cost predictability for simple documents, while hourly rates may be better for complex situations requiring negotiation or customization.
Do I need a separate document for healthcare and financial decisions?
Often yes; many people set up both a financial power of attorney and a healthcare power of attorney as separate documents.
