Married couples have a lot of protections under law. Unmarried partners do not in many places. What can partners do to protect each other and prepare for life's problems and unfortunate circumstances.

Many states are taking steps to provide legal protection for life partners. However, in many instances, life partners, or those in a cohabitation situation, a mother living with her daughter, or an unmarried elderly couple living together for example, do not have a lot in the way of legal protections in the event of illness, incapacitating events, or death.

A durable power of attorney is a document that is used as a legal way to appoint some one to act on your behalf if you become incapacitated. To get one you can go down to your county's courthouse and pay a 'print fee' for a copy for one. An even easier way to get one though is by going online and finding a durable POA form you can fill out at home on your PC then print out yourself; theirs many sites out there that offer these kind of fillable forms.

A durable power of attorney is a form that is used as a legal way to appoint some one to act on your behalf if you become incapacitated. To get one you can go down to your county's courthouse and pay a 'print fee' for a copy for one. An even easier way to get one though is by going online and finding a durable POA form you can fill out at home on your PC then print out yourself; theirs many sites out there that offer these kind of fillable forms.There are a few things you should know though once you've gotten a hold of a fillable durable power of attorney form. The person making the document, which is the person who appoints the representative to represent their interests when they become incapacitated, is called the 'principal'. The person appointed by the principal is called the agent or attorney-in-fact. Besides understanding these two terms there is nothing else you need to know to finish filling out your durable POA.Once you've created a solid durable power of attorney then its time to get it signed and notarized. As soon as a durable POA is signed it is in effect, but notarizing it will give your county a record of it and therefore will provide evidence that it is legal if disputes arise later. Once your durable POA form is notarized then you're all done, and you have just filed a durable POA form on your own without a lawyer.At anytime the principal may revoke a durable power of attorney they've made. This is done by first informing the agent in writing then second you fill out and notarize a revocation of power of attorney. Many lawyers will also suggest that you even should inform anyone that has done business with the agent and tell him or her that your agent will no longer represent you. (more...)

A power of attorney form is a legal form that allows you to appoint some one who is willing to act on your behalf in a matter of your choosing. For example, power of attorney forms are used a lot by deployed soldiers who want their wives back home to have access to their bank account. This is not all it can be used for though; you can appoint some one to act on your behalf in any matter you choose.Power of attorney forms (POA forms) are simple legal agreements that do not require a lawyer. Its not hard to find a fill able POA online and fill it out yourself as long as you know a few terms. On the document, you, the person making the form, are referred to as the 'Principal'. The person appointed to execute the agreement is referred to as the 'Agent'. Another popular term for an agent is 'Attorney-in-Fact'. This term became popular because an agent is kind of like an employee who is suppose to look of for your best interests, like an attorney should.There's a tradition that comes along with appointing an agent. Power of attorney agents are compensated for any expense they had to endure to execute your POA. For example, if they missed a day of work you should cover that expense along with any other expenses they had to endure. It's only the right thing to do anyway. It's wrong to force some one to participate within the scope of the legal agreement without compensating their expenses, unless the agent wants it that way.Another thing you should know is that you can cancel the power of attorney at anytime if you're the principal. The process is simple, just fill out a revocation of POA form and have it notarized so that it's officially on the record. Also, if you set a date that the agreement will no longer be valid after, then this will also be enough to void the agreement. (more...)
