What a Financial Power of Attorney Does
A Financial Power of Attorney allows you to appoint a trusted person (your “agent”) to manage your financial affairs if you become unable to do so. This document ensures your bills are paid, your accounts are protected, and your financial responsibilities continue without interruption.

A Financial Power of Attorney is recommended for nearly every adult in Pennsylvania. It is especially important if you want to ensure your finances are protected during an emergency or period of incapacity. You may benefit from this document if you:
- Want someone you trust to manage your finances if you cannot
- Are planning for medical procedures or long‑term care
- Travel frequently or spend extended time out of state
- Manage multiple accounts, properties, or business interests
