Power of Attorney
(Healthcare & Financial)

Power of attorney can be crucial for someone who lacks the ability to make decisions for themselves.

In North Carolina, there are two types: healthcare and durable.
With healthcare power of attorney, the agent of your choice can make healthcare decisions, from treatments to doctors and more. Having this power in place is especially important if you have a family history of stroke, dementia, or Alzheimer’s.

Durable power of attorney allows your agent to manage your financial affairs and personal matters. If you don’t designate an agent beforehand, your loved ones may have to go through a costly legal process to have a court name a guardian of the state’s choosing.

Attorney, Melissa Baird can help you plan for the future to offer peace of mind for you and your loved ones today.
