Power of Attorney Workshops
Seniors with capacity should prepare durable Powers of Attorney to help them avoid potential abuse and financial exploitation, as well as the possible requirement of a guardianship proceeding, should they later become incapacitated. Recently, a new law has made it even easier for agents under a Power of Attorney for Healthcare to display on an electronic device an electronic copy of an executed form as proof of a health care agency. At our Power of Attorney Workshops, CDEL representatives prepare Powers of Attorney for Health Care and Property, as well as Illinois Living Will Declarations, for low-income seniors at senior centers throughout Cook County.
