A durable power of attorney designates a trusted person to manage your financial affairs if you become unable to do so yourself. For single women, this document is particularly important because there’s no spouse to step in automatically. Without the power of attorney, a court may need to appoint a guardian — a process that can be costly, time-consuming, and entirely out of your hands. You can work with a Mercer Advisors estate planning specialist to create this document as part of a broader estate plan.
