Anytime you can’t be in two places at once, you need to appoint someone else to act for you. The right Mandate (called Power of Attorney in other states) for the situation is critical to your success.

A Louisiana Durable General Mandate can have a considerable impact on the chosen agent’s ability to deal with matters and the situation.

The benefit of having a POA is that it provides a way for your trusted agent to handle your financial and personal affairs without the need for an interdiction proceeding, which can be incredibly time-consuming and costly.

Your mandate is an authoritative document that gives your agent – whether it’s your grown children, your spouse, a trusted family member or someone else you trust – to act on your behalf in the event you are unable to. This includes things such as paying your bills, buying/selling real estate, filing taxes and handling your personal affairs.

Life is unpredictable and full of uncertainties. Everyone – no matter your marital status or age – should have a mandate in place. Because incapacitating accidents and illness are not predictable and can happen at any age, it is important to choose the right agent, prepare a clear and concise mandate and also to understand the ways that the mandate can be terminated.
