Power of Attorney

Empowering Your Choices
Comprehensive Power of Attorney Services at Perez-Roura Law

The significance of a robust estate plan that includes a Power of Attorney cannot be underestimated. At Perez-Roura Law, where our attorney Pedro has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star for several years in a row, we provide you with the tools to ensure that your personal and business affairs remain in trusted hands, even in times when you might not be able to make those decisions yourself.

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that grants a person or organization (your “agent”) the authority to manage your affairs if you are unable to do so. However, it is important to note that Florida law requires the Power of Attorney be effective from the moment it is signed. Whether it’s handling business transactions, managing real estate investments, or simply paying your bills, a Power of Attorney is an essential component of a comprehensive estate plan for any proactive business owner or property investor.
