Many people assume powers of attorney are only for older adults. That’s not true.
Sophia, a West Linn professional, was in her early 30s and healthy, but a sudden illness left her hospitalized. Without a power of attorney, no one could legally manage her finances or make certain medical decisions. Fortunately, she was able to create one quickly, but it was a stressful lesson for her family.
A financial durable power of attorney allows someone you trust to manage your money if you can’t. In Oregon, you need this to say durable so it can be used in the event of a memory care diagnosis.
A medical power of attorney/ advanced medical directive ensures someone can make healthcare decisions on your behalf. These documents are essential for young adults, singles, and parents alike, not just seniors.
