Do I Need a Durable Power of Attorney if I Have a Will?

Yes, you should have a durable power of attorney even if you have a Will.  A Will takes effect only when you die.  Your power of attorney allows your agent to handle matters when you are alive.  With current medical technology, there can be a very long period of time between when you may not be able to handle your affairs and when your Will takes effect.  Having a durable power of attorney allows your agent to handle your affairs during this period, probably without a conservator or guardian. To get a durable power of attorney or to make sure your power of attorney is durable, contact Thomas T. Tornow, P.C. at http://www.tornowlaw.com.
