Use the link below to contact Meza Talbott Law regarding your legal inquiry. To help best serve your inquiry, please be as detailed as possible. Your information will not be shared with any third-party.

At Meza Talbott Law, we help you establish a legally binding power of attorney to ensure that a trusted individual can manage your financial and legal affairs if you become unable to do so. This document grants your chosen agent the authority to handle important matters such as paying bills, managing property, and making critical financial decisions on your behalf.

Without a power of attorney, your loved ones may have to go through a lengthy and costly court process to gain control over your affairs. We provide personalized guidance to help you create a durable power of attorney that protects your interests and ensures that your financial and personal matters are managed according to your wishes.

Ensures Your Finances Are Managed

A power of attorney allows a trusted person to handle financial transactions, pay bills, and manage assets if you become incapacitated. Without one, your loved ones may need court approval to access or manage your accounts.

Prevents Costly Legal Delays

If you don’t have a power of attorney in place, your family may have to go through a lengthy and expensive guardianship process to gain control over your affairs. This can create unnecessary stress and financial burdens during an already difficult time.

Protects Your Best Interests

By choosing your own agent, you ensure that someone you trust will act on your behalf rather than leaving these decisions to the courts. A power of attorney provides peace of mind that your affairs will be handled according to your wishes.

Take Control of Your Financial & Legal Affairs

A power of attorney ensures that someone you trust can make important financial and legal decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. Below are answers to common questions about why having one is essential.

What is a power of attorney?

A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone to manage your financial, legal, or medical affairs if you become incapacitated. This ensures your bills are paid, assets are managed, and decisions are made according to your wishes.

When does a power of attorney take effect?

It depends on the type of POA you choose. A durable power of attorney takes effect immediately and remains in place if you become incapacitated, while a springing power of attorney only activates under specific conditions, such as a medical determination of incapacity.

Can I change or revoke my power of attorney?

Yes, as long as you are mentally competent, you can modify or revoke your power of attorney at any time. It’s important to review it regularly and update it if your circumstances or preferences change.

Who should I choose as my agent?

Your agent should be someone you completely trust to handle your finances and legal matters responsibly. Many people choose a spouse, adult child, or close friend, but you can also appoint a professional fiduciary if needed.
