Reading Power of Attorney
As you think about creating an estate plan, it’s important to consider the possibility that the day may come when injury or illness prevents you from communicating. If this happens, knowing that someone you trust is making decisions on your behalf is a major comfort. In order to legally give someone else the power to make decisions on your behalf, you’ll need to form a power of attorney. At the law office of van der Veen, Hartshorn & Levin, our lawyers are available to help with your Reading power of attorney.

Forming a Power of Attorney
Forming a power of attorney is a relatively easy process in Reading. All that needs to happen is that the principal–who is the person who is creating the power of attorney–needs to choose the agent–the person who is given power of attorney–and then sign and date the power of attorney document. The document signing should be witnessed by two people, as well as notarized. Oftentimes, a template exists that all parties will need to sign.
Much more difficult than forming the power of attorney itself, though, is choosing who you want to serve as your power of attorney. It’s important that you select someone who you trust to act within your best interests and to follow your wishes, as well as someone who’s generally reliable and dependable. In selecting someone, have an honest conversation about what your wishes are in the event that you are incapacitated or disabled.

"I love that I have Mike on my side, whenever I question what am I supposed to do? I used to call my dad and after my dad passed, even for things that aren’t always law related, I know I could still call Mike, and I love that about him. He’s just amazing, and I know that if I send somebody here that they’re going to be represented a hundred percent." -Jamie
