Durable Powers of Attorney

Managing Your Finances During Incapacity

If you are incapacitated and no longer able to make decisions about your financial assets, what happens? Without proper planning, it may be necessary for the court to appoint a legal guardian, a time-consuming, expensive and burdensome process. However, there is an easier option. If your estate plan includes a durable powers of attorney, you will have already designated who is in charge of your finances. At the law firm of Morris, Downing & Sherred, we have more than a century of experience helping people make important decisions about their future. We can help you.

Find Out More About Durable Powers Of Attorney

Call us at 973-383-2700 to speak with one of our attorneys about the value of including a durable power of attorney in your estate plan.

Morris, Downing & Sherred is available to provide estate planning services to clients in northern New Jersey and surrounding areas.

A durable power of attorney grants someone you trust the right to take care of all of your financial affairs, from using your checking account to pay your bills to managing your investments.

Creating a durable power of attorney during the estate planning process means that your loved ones will not have to encounter any stress over who is in charge of managing your financial affairs in the event you are unable to do so. While the law outlines other means of putting someone in charge of your finances by establishing a guardian in emergency situations, this process is not a simple one. It can be expensive. It can be time-consuming. It can also lead to disputes among your family members.

We are committed to providing personalized estate planning services. That means that the advice we provide is specifically tailored to your situation. When we recommend that you establish a durable power of attorney, it is because we have carefully analyzed your needs and have determined it is an important step in accomplishing them. We are here to help you achieve your goals.
