Why you need a power of attorney (POA)
To speak for you when you can't
If you're unable to handle your financial affairs for whatever reason, a POA allows you to designate someone you trust to ensure your wishes are followed.
For your friends and family
Allow your loved ones to take care of your finances without having to deal with court proceedings.
For your peace of mind
Living overseas for an extended period of time, or getting sick can already be a challenge. Ease your mind by knowing that your assets and finances will be taken care of by someone you trust.
