Powers of Attorney in Your Baton Rouge Estate Plan

What Happens if You Aren't Capable of Making Financial Decisions?

It is an unfortunate, yet very real fact of life that you may not always have the mental capacity necessary to handle your own finances. Whether through a sudden, serious accident or a disease that affects your mental capacity as you age, there are many situations that can prevent you from being able to manage your own affairs. If this were to happen to you, who would make financial decisions on your behalf? Putting a power of attorney in place ensures that you choose who will speak financially.
