Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Why are banks so picky about POA?

Reasons a financial institution may reject a financial power of attorney include: The financial power of attorney is considered too stale because it was executed several years earlier. Legally, a durable power of attorney does not expire until it is revoked by the principal or the principal dies.

Does a durable power of attorney cover bank accounts?

Because a power of attorney may grant very broad power over your property, including your bank accounts, we recommend that you consult a legal advisor, estate planner or other tax professional to see whats right for your situation.

What three decisions cannot be made by a legal power of attorney?

When someone makes you the agent in their power of attorney, you cannot: Write a will for them, nor can you edit their current will. Take money directly from their bank accounts. Make decisions after the person you are representing dies. Give away your role as agent in the power of attorney.

Can power of attorney take over a bank account?

As long as the power of attorney (POA) follows the laws of your state, banks, credit unions, and other third parties should accept it. Ask to speak to the branch manager, a supervisor, or an attorney for the bank or credit union.

Does a durable power of attorney need to be recorded in Virginia?

In Virginia, most powers of attorney dont need to be recorded unless they involve real estate transactions. If your agent will manage or sell real estate on your behalf, the power of attorney must be recorded with the circuit court in the county where the property is located.

Can POA spend your money?

This type of financial exploitation is illegal and punishable under California laws and federal laws. If you believe an elder is a victim of elder abuse, every county in California has an Adult Protective Services agency.

What are the disadvantages of a durable power of attorney?

One major downfall of a POA is the agent may act in ways or do things that the principal had not intended. There is no direct oversight of the agents activities by anyone other than you, the principal. This can lend a hand to situations such as elder financial abuse and/or fraud.
