Power of Attorney Lawyer in Fort Myers, FL
Understanding the Types of Power of Attorney
Choosing the right type of Power of Attorney (POA) is crucial to ensuring your wishes are respected and your affairs are managed the way you intend. At The Law Office of Kelly L. Fayer, P.A., we provide comprehensive guidance on the various types of POA, including:
- Durable Power of Attorney: Remains effective even if you become incapacitated, allowing your trusted representative to manage your affairs without interruption.
- Springing Power of Attorney: Only takes effect upon a specific event, such as your incapacitation, which can offer peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
- Limited Power of Attorney: Grants your agent authority to make decisions only in specific situations, such as completing a one-time transaction, ideal for temporary needs.
- Healthcare Power of Attorney: Designates someone to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to communicate or make decisions for yourself, ensuring your healthcare preferences are respected.
- Financial Power of Attorney: Empowers someone to manage your financial matters, including paying bills, managing assets, and handling business dealings.
Understanding these distinctions can help you make informed decisions about your legal and financial future. Our dedicated team is here to help you navigate your options and ensure that your Power of Attorney aligns perfectly with your personal needs and circumstances.

Are Powers of Attorney Required?
A power of attorney is not required in Florida, but it is a good idea to have one if you are incapacitated. If you do not have a power of attorney, a court will appoint an individual to make decisions on your behalf. This individual will not have the same knowledge or experience as the person you would choose to act on your behalf.
How Can a Fort Myers Power of Attorney Attorney Help?
A power of attorney can be a helpful tool to ensure that your wishes are carried out when you are unable to make decisions. However, this document can be confusing, and you may have questions about how it works and how you should use it. Your attorney can help you understand the power of attorney and how it can be used to make decisions for you in the event that you become incapacitated.
