Georgia Financial Power of Attorney

Let Someone You Trust Handle Money If You Can’t

Serving Atlanta and all of Georgia. A Georgia Financial Power of Attorney (often durable) lets a person you choose step in to pay bills, manage accounts, sign checks, handle taxes, and deal with property if you’re sick, injured, traveling, or facing memory issues.

Good news: it’s FREE when you request our Free Estate Plan (Foundations Package). We draft it to Georgia law and give you exact signing steps—so life keeps moving even when you can’t.

Why Georgia Families Put a POA in Place

  • Avoid court control. Without a POA, family may need a public, costly guardianship to act.
  • Keep bills paid on time. Your agent can manage banking, mortgages, utilities, insurance, and taxes.
  • Prevent account lockouts. Banks talk to your agent, not strangers.
  • Protect against misuse. We can limit powers, name backups, and require records.
  • Keep businesses running. Your agent can handle payroll, vendors, leases, and contracts if you’re sidelined.

Reminder: Your Financial POA is included FREE with our Foundations Package.

What a Georgia Financial POA Can Do

  • Banking & bills: pay utilities, mortgage, credit cards; transfer funds; access safe-deposit boxes.
  • Investments: talk to advisors; buy/sell securities; manage brokerage accounts.
  • Property: buy/sell/lease/maintain real estate and vehicles (with proper wording).
  • Taxes & legal: sign returns, work with the IRS/GA DOR; handle claims and settlements.
  • Business: manage LLC or small-business tasks, payroll, vendors, and contracts.
  • Benefits: work with Social Security, Medicare, pensions (with separate forms as needed).
  • Customization: immediate or “springing” (starts after a doctor says you’re incapacitated); gifting and other “hot powers” only if you explicitly allow them.
  • Revocation: you can change or revoke it any time while competent.
  • Ends at death: your will or trust controls after you pass.

Medical choices are separate. Use a Georgia Advance Healthcare Directive (included FREE with Foundations) for doctors and hospitals.
