Authority you choose, in the moments you need it
Different situations call for different powers of attorney. We help you choose the right combination, name the right people, and make sure the documents are accepted when your family needs them most.
General Durable Power of Attorney
Broad financial authority that stays in force if you become incapacitated. The person you trust can pay bills, manage property, and keep your life running without a court guardianship.
Limited Power of Attorney
Authority for a specific task or window of time. Useful for a one-off real estate closing, a business transaction, or any situation where you need targeted help without giving up the keys.
Healthcare Power of Attorney
Names the person who speaks for you on medical decisions when you cannot speak for yourself. Paired with a living will, it gives doctors and family clear direction in a crisis.
Mental Healthcare Power of Attorney
A specialized Arizona document that authorizes decisions about psychiatric care and inpatient mental health treatment. A regular healthcare POA is not enough in these situations.
Springing Power of Attorney
Takes effect only when a defined event occurs, typically incapacity confirmed by physicians, rather than being active from the day you sign. A good fit when you want authority on standby.
Agent Coordination & Successors
We map out primary agents, successors, and overlap rules so the right person is in charge at every stage, even if your first choice cannot serve when the time comes.
