What is a Power of Attorney for Property Management?

June 15, 2023/in Estate Planning /by Michael Lonich

As we age, it becomes increasingly important to plan for the future and ensure that our finances and property are managed according to our wishes. One tool that can help with this is a power of attorney for property management. 

Today, we’ll explore what a power of attorney is and why you may need one for property management. Whether you’re planning for your own future or helping a loved one with their estate planning, understanding the role of a power of attorney can be a valuable asset. 

What is a Power of Attorney? 

A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants authority to another person, known as an agent or attorney-in-fact, to act on your behalf. A power of attorney can be used for a variety of purposes, including managing your finances, making medical decisions, or handling legal matters. 

A power of attorney for property management is a specific type of POA that gives someone the authority to manage your property and financial affairs. In a POA for property management, you can specify the scope of the agent’s authority. For example, you may give your agent the power to pay your bills, manage your bank accounts, sell your property, or make investment decisions. 

You can also include limitations on your agent’s authority or specify when the POA will take effect.

Why Do You Need a Power of Attorney for Property Management?

Property management can often be a complex process, and knowing when you need a POA isn’t always straightforward. Let’s look at some examples of when a POA for property management is most valuable.

Firstly, if you become incapacitated or disabled due to illness or injury, a POA for property management can ensure that your finances are still taken care of. Without a POA, your loved ones may need to go through a costly and time-consuming court process to have a guardian or conservator appointed to manage your affairs. 

Also, if you plan to travel for an extended period, a POA can give someone you trust the authority to manage your property while you’re away. A POA for property management can also be a convenient way to manage your finances. For example, if you have difficulty managing your finances or prefer to delegate those tasks to someone else, a POA can be a helpful tool.

If you own a business, you can use a power of attorney for property management to give someone the authority to make financial decisions on behalf of the business. This can be especially important if you become incapacitated or need to travel and cannot manage the business yourself.

How Can LPEP Help You?

Is a POA for property management right for you? Because of the legal intricacies involved in a POA, it is important to talk to a legal professional as the first step. At Lonich Polich Ehrlich Policastri, our attorneys can draft a power of attorney for property management which fits your individual needs both now and in the future.

Specializing in Divorce and Estate Planning, I am San Jose Attorney, Michael E. Lonich; and I have been battling for client’s rights for nearly 40 years. When focusing on divorce, child custody, and related matters, I know all too well the emotional and financial toll divorce has on clients. Integrity, common sense, and a passion for what I do which guarantee the best possible results for my clients. Resolution of family law issues requires an attorney able to navigate the myriad legal and emotional issues presented in cases. Financial issues, child custody, domestic violence, valuation of property, analysis of RSUs, hidden assets, spousal and child support, all may require trial, mediation, or a collaborative effort with the parties. Regardless, each client gets the individualized attention they require. Every family law case is unique, we partner with you to develop a comprehensive approach to get the best results.
