Powers of Attorney in Miami

Protect Your Future with a Power of Attorney

A strong estate plan isn’t complete without a Power of Attorney (POA). At Perez-Roura Law, led by attorney Pedro A. Perez-Roura, recognized for multiple years as a Super Lawyers Rising Star, we help Miami families, business owners, and real estate investors create Powers of Attorney that safeguard their future.

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives a trusted person (your “agent”) the authority to make decisions on your behalf if you cannot do so. In Florida, a Power of Attorney becomes effective as soon as it is signed. Whether it involves managing real estate, handling financial transactions, running a business, or simply paying bills, this document is an essential part of estate planning for anyone who wants to stay prepared.
