What is Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorizes someone you trust, known as the agent, to manage your financial affairs on your behalf. Whether you’re planning for the future or need immediate assistance, our team is here to guide you through the process of establishing a POA.

Managing POA Accounts

  • Authorized Actions: Your agent can maintain your accounts and perform transactions on your behalf, within the scope of the Power of Attorney.
  • Revoking POA Rights:
    As indicated in your Power of Attorney document, you may revoke your Power of Attorney at any time by notifying us in writing. It will also automatically become invalid in specific situations, such as in the event of your passing. For further clarification, you may consult your legal counsel.
