Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Powers of Attorney
Why do I need a power of attorney for asset management if I have a trust?
The reason is that you probably own assets which are not in the trust. Such assets often include retirement accounts, automobiles, life insurance policies, time shares, and small lots. A general power of attorney will allow your attorney-in-fact to manage such assets for you.
