Power of attorney (p.o.a.)

Wisconsin Power of Attorney for Financial Matters: A general (financial) power of attorney grants another person the authority to make financial decisions and manage economic affairs on behalf of your loved one. This document is typically used for a wide range of financial matters, and the powers granted can be extensive. This document is usually not permanent, meaning the powers granted terminate if your loved one becomes incapacitated or mentally incompetent. It is essential to carefully consider and clearly articulate the powers being granted and to select a trustworthy person to handle the financial affairs. A notary public is required.
