Common Questions About Financial Power of Attorney

  • What does a financial power of attorney do in Texas?

     It gives someone the legal right to manage your finances—like paying bills, managing investments, or handling real estate—if you’re unable to do so.


  • Who should I name as my financial power of attorney agent?

    Choose someone you trust completely. This could be a spouse, adult child, or close friend who is responsible and understands your values.


  • Is a financial power of attorney permanent?

    It can be. Most people choose a “durable” power of attorney, which stays in effect if you become incapacitated—but it can also be revoked or changed at any time while you're competent.


  • Do I need a lawyer to create a financial power of attorney in Houston, TX?

    Yes, especially if you want it tailored to your specific needs and legally enforceable. A boilerplate form may not hold up or offer the protection you need.
