A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives someone the authority to act on your behalf in private affairs, business, or legal matters. The person who authorizes the other to act is called the principal, grantor, or donor. The person who acts on your behalf is called the agent, attorney-in-fact, or substitute decision-maker.

Probate is a legal process that distributes a deceased person’s property after their death. It’s a court-supervised proceeding that involves validating the will, paying debts, and passing the remaining property to the heirs. Even if there’s no will, the estate may still need to go through probate. An experienced Estate Attorney can help you navigate the probate process and protect your interests.
