Attorney reviewing a general durable power of attorney with a client in an Indiana estate planning meeting

Which Power of Attorney Do You Need?

A Power of Attorney lets someone you trust step in and make decisions for you when you can’t. The right one depends on what you’re trying to cover. Here’s a quick look at each option.

General Durable Power of Attorney

Covers your financial and legal decisions, like banking, bills, property, and contracts, if you’re unavailable or unable to handle them yourself.

Health Care Power of Attorney

Names someone to make medical decisions on your behalf and spells out your wishes for care, so your family isn’t left guessing.

Both (General Durable + Health Care)

Covers financial and medical decisions together, in one set of documents. The most complete option, for people who want both handled at once.

Order Both

Young Adult Decision-Making Document

Turning 18 doesn’t just mean a new driver’s license. It also means your parents lose the automatic legal right to make decisions for you. This document keeps them in the loop if you can’t act for yourself.
