Power of Attorney: Protect Your Future, Reduce Uncertainty
Appoint Someone You Trust to Make Decisions on Your Behalf when you are unable to
Life is unpredictable. If you’re ever unable to make decisions due to illness, injury, or an emergency, a Power of Attorney (POA) ensures someone you trust can step in and act on your behalf—quickly and confidently. Duckpins makes it easy to create a legally binding POA in minutes.
Get Your POA NowWhat Is a Power of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you (the principal) to grant someone (your agent) the authority to act on your behalf in financial, medical, and/or legal matters.
You can choose:
A single POA covering all decisions
Separate POAs for medical and general matters
Your agent only acts when it’s necessary—either temporarily (like during a medical recovery) or longer-term (due to illness or aging). Either way, a Power of Attorney ensures someone you trust can speak for you when you can't speak for yourself.
