The Potential Power of an "Individualized" Durable Power of Attorney

by Attorney Iris M. Christenson
Published in the Senior Lawyers Newsletter, April 2009

The Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) deserves more attention and perhaps should be elevated to the same level of importance we reserve for a person's Will or Trust. This "minor" document can have a major impact since it might be the sole means of protecting your assets from long term care costs. If the document is tailored to your unique situation and conforms to the changes in the Medicaid regulations your estate planning goals can be achieved, even if you lack capacity to handle your financial affairs.
