Do You Have Power Of Attorney Settled For Your Estate Plan
Power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone else power to act on your behalf as if they were you. You can grant power of attorney (POA) in many different avenues of your life, but in an estate plan, power of attorney has a vital relevance.

A Brief Guide To Power Of Attorney For Estate Planning
When talking about power of attorney for an estate plan, largely we’re referring to a durable power of attorney. In other aspects of your life, you may use a limited power of attorney to have a trusted individual negotiate on your behalf – such as in a home purchase. But in that case, when the negotiation ends, so does the power.
A durable power of attorney lasts through any of the normal circumstances that would end a non-durable power of attorney, such as becoming incapacitated. This is important because it allows you to select someone who can make decisions for you when you no longer can. In Texas, you can have two different roles:
- Medical power of attorney
- Financial power of attorney.
The medical power of attorney can make decisions about your medical care, and a financial POA is focused solely on the care of your estate, similar to that of a guardian or conservator. You can choose to have these powers with the same person or with different people. The choice is yours.

A Few Words From Satisfied Clients
From the start, John approached my case with compassion, integrity, and a deep understanding of how high the stakes were for my family. He listened closely, advised me wisely, and fought with heart and determination to ensure that our side of the story was heard. He treated me not just as a client, but as someone whose voice and lived experience mattered deeply.
Throughout this difficult journey, John never wavered. His professionalism, responsiveness, and strategic guidance gave me strength and confidence even in the most uncertain moments. He and his team poured countless hours into preparing a case grounded in truth, love, and the best interests of my granddaughter.
Though the final decision was not what we had prayed for, I will always be thankful for the dignity, support, and relentless effort John and his firm gave to our family. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking strong, ethical, and empathetic representation.
With deep appreciation,
Rhonda Brown
