Powers of Attorney in California

Specialized powers of attorney representation by Sari Law Firm— part of our Estate Planning practice. Free consultation, transparent pricing, and clear communication at every step.

What is Powers of Attorney?

A power of attorney (POA) authorizes someone else (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to act on your behalf for financial or business matters. A durable POA continues to operate if you become incapacitated; a general POA covers all matters; a limited POA covers specific transactions. Without a current POA, family members typically need a conservatorship to handle finances during incapacity.

When you might need this service

  • You want to designate someone trusted to handle your finances if you become incapacitated.
  • A specific transaction (real estate sale, business closing) needs to happen while you are unavailable.
  • An aging family member is starting to need help with bills, banking, or property and a formal POA is appropriate.
  • A military deployment, extended travel, or medical procedure requires temporary delegation of authority.

How Sari Law Firm helps

We draft durable, springing, or limited POAs calibrated to your situation, ensuring California-compliant formalities and language banks and other institutions will honor. We also coordinate with a healthcare directive so financial and healthcare decision-making are aligned and family members understand the distinction.
