When does a power of attorney take effect?

When does a power of attorney take effect? In this video, we explain when a power of attorney becomes active and why the real world timing often depends on both the document and the institution that must accept it. Here are three things to know about when a power of attorney takes effect. Let’s start with the first thing to know. Some powers of attorney are effective immediately once signed. That can help with convenience, but it also requires strong trust in the agent. Next, here’s the second point to remember. Some are springing powers that start only after incapacity. This can feel safer, but it may require medical proof, which can delay action when time matters. And finally, here’s the third point that is often overlooked. Institutions may have their own requirements. Even with a valid document, a bank or company may ask for additional verification or forms before allowing access. Before we go, one final tip to keep in mind. The practical question is not just when it takes effect, but whether it will be accepted quickly when you need it.
