What Is A Power Of Attorney?

A power of attorney is a written authorization to represent or act on another's behalf in private, legal, or business matters. The person authorizing the other to act is the principal, grantor, or donor of the power. The one entitled to act is the agent.

There are two basic types of living trusts: revocable and irrevocable. Both allow you to assign your assets to specific heirs or organizations. When you die, the assets will go to them as instructed. In this way, living trusts are similar to wills, however, the property going through probate court (which can be expensive and time-consuming) will be given to the trustee you assign who will designate the assets according to your wishes. A living trust can be solved in just a few weeks, contrary to a will which can take months or even years to conclude.
