A continuing power of attorney for property is one of the most powerful documents you will ever sign, and one of the most dangerous to get wrong.
A continuing power of attorney for property lets a person you choose manage your finances and property. It is continuing because it keeps working if you later become mentally incapable, exactly when you most need someone to act for you.

Book a Consultation持续性财产授权书,是你一生会签署的最有力的文件之一,也是最“弄错代价最大”的之一。
持续性财产授权书,让你选定的人管理你的财务与财产。之所以称“持续(continuing)”,是因为在你日后丧失心智能力时它仍然有效,而那正是你最需要有人替你行事的时候。
除非你另有声明,这份文件可以在签署时即刻生效,而不仅是在你丧失能力时。你指定的人,可能对你的银行账户、投资与财产拥有极大的权限。选错人、或用词含糊,都可能打开难以挽回的滥用之门。
等到需要财产授权书时,往往已经来不及再立,因为当事人已丧失能力。把一份稳妥的授权书安排到位的时机,是现在,趁你还健康。
