Power of Attorney Attorney in Kansas
A Power of Attorney, often called a POA, is one of the most important legal documents in your estate plan. It allows you to appoint a trusted person to make financial or medical decisions on your behalf if you become unable to act. Without a valid POA, your family may need to go through a court process to manage your affairs, which creates stress, delays, and additional expenses.
At
Kelley Law Firm, we help clients across Kansas create clear and effective Power of Attorney documents that protect their wishes and provide peace of mind. Whether you need a financial POA, medical POA, or both, we guide you through the process and help you choose the structure that fits your life and goals. We also assist Missouri families when needed, but our primary focus is serving Kansas communities.
What Is a Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives another person, called your agent, the authority to act on your behalf. Your agent can make medical or financial decisions based on the permissions you choose. A POA ensures your affairs are managed according to your wishes if illness, injury, or incapacity prevents you from making decisions.
Kelley Law Firm helps you select the right type of POA and ensures your documents comply with Kansas law and accurately reflect your intentions.
Types of Power of Attorney Documents
01
Financial Power of Attorney
A financial POA authorizes someone you trust to manage your financial matters, such as paying bills, handling banking, managing real estate, filing taxes, or overseeing investments. This document is essential if you want to avoid unnecessary court involvement in your financial affairs.
02
Medical Power of Attorney
A medical POA allows a trusted individual to make healthcare decisions if you cannot communicate your preferences. Your agent will work with your medical team to ensure your treatment aligns with your values and instructions.
03
Durable Power of Attorney
A durable POA stays valid even if you become incapacitated. This makes it especially important for long term planning, as it ensures your agent can continue to act on your behalf during illness or cognitive decline.
04
Limited or Specific Power of Attorney
A limited POA grants authority for specific tasks or a defined period of time. It is commonly used for property sales, business matters, or managing finances during travel.
