I heard that a new Power of Attorney went into effect on June 13, 2021. I just executed a Power of Attorney last year and I am still not comfortable going to a lawyer’s office or any other office for that matter. What should I do?

Your Power of Attorney will be grandfathered into the new law as long as it was validly executed in accordance with the laws in effect at the time of execution. This holds true for all Powers of Attorney but they, like your other estate documents, should be periodically updated.  If you have any questions about your Power of Attorney or other estate planning documents, you can reach out to Joan C. Lenihan, Attorney at Law, via Zoom.
