@estateplanlawyer: Replying to @MAMA 🛑 Power of Attorney ends at death — here’s why that matters 🛑 A financial power of attorney or medical power of attorney gives someone authority to act only while the principal is alive. Once they pass away, the power of attorney is no longer valid. It does not let you handle estate matters, access bank accounts, or sell property after death. At that point, only an executor named in a will or a successor trustee in a living trust has legal authority. If there’s no trust or will, the estate may go through probate court, which is time-consuming, expensive, and public. That’s why having a full estate plan—including a revocable living trust, advance healthcare directive, and financial power of attorney—is so important. 💼 Avoid estate planning mistakes. Protect your family. Plan ahead.
