By designating an agent, the principal can ensure that someone they trust will make decisions regarding their finances, healthcare, and legal matters. This can help prevent disputes among family members and ensure timely decision-making when needed. Additionally, having a POA in place can protect an individual’s interests, allowing for smooth management of affairs without the need for court intervention. Overall, a POA is a vital tool for planning and safeguarding one's future.
