A durable power of attorney can be drafted so that A durable power of attorney can be drafted so that the attorney-in-fact can have immediate powers to act on behalf of the principal or, alternatively, it can be drafted so that the attorney-in-fact can only act when the principal becomes incapacitated (known as a “springing power”). 

Springing powers may be appealing to someone who is reluctant to give their attorney-in-fact immediate access to their affairs. However, it may cause delays in the attorney-in-fact’s powers if there is required paperwork or procedures to determine if the principal is truly incapacitated.

Assets with valid beneficiary designations typically transfer directly to the named beneficiary, regardless of what a will says. If those designations are outdated or inconsistent with the overall estate plan, assets may pass in unintended ways.

Regular reviews help ensure beneficiary designations align with current goals and circumstances.

If you have questions about how your assets will transfer, we would be glad to speak with you.
