At English Law Group, we believe estate planning isn’t just about preparing for what happens after you’re gone; it’s about making sure you and your loved ones are protected, even if life throws the unexpected your way. A key piece of that protection is having thoughtfully drafted Powers of Attorney (POA).
Our Power of Attorney Services help you set up the legal authority today so that if you are ever unable to make decisions for yourself because of illness, injury, or incapacity, someone you trust can step in immediately to make healthcare or financial decisions on your behalf.

Durable Power of Attorney
(Financial & Personal Affairs)
A Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) for finances and personal matters empowers someone you trust to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated. Unlike a “general” POA that ends when you lose capacity, a durable POA remains in effect even if you are no longer able to make decisions.
With a durable power of attorney in place, your agent can:
Handle banking, bill payments, taxes, investments, and property management
Buy or sell assets like real estate or investments on your behalf
Take care of insurance, retirement account tasks, and legal or business matters
Ensure that your financial and personal obligations continue uninterrupted
Without a durable POA, if you become incapacitated, your loved ones might have to petition a court to be appointed as a guardian or conservator, a time-consuming, costly, and often stressful process.
Health Care Power of Attorney
A Health Care Power of Attorney (HCPOA), sometimes called a medical power of attorney or health care proxy, lets you appoint a trusted family member or friend to make medical decisions for you if you become unable to communicate your wishes.
By naming a health-care agent:
You ensure your medical and end-of-life treatment preferences are respected.
That person will have access to your medical information and the authority to make decisions, including choosing providers, consenting to or refusing treatment, and selecting care facilities, if needed.
You avoid the risk of family disputes or delays in critical treatment should you be incapacitated.

Why Both Are Important
Putting together both a Health Care and a Durable Power of Attorney — together with a will, trusts, and other estate planning tools — ensures your life, health, assets, and values are protected under any circumstances. Many estate-planning experts consider POAs among the “must-have” documents for adults of every age and financial situation.
When your plans are prepared professionally and correctly, you avoid unnecessary legal complications, protect your privacy, and give your loved ones clarity and control when it truly matters.
