Power Of Attorney: Do you have one? Great Article

I read this great article on Power of Attorney and said to myself "I HAVE GOT TO SHARE WITH MY MILITARY WIVES!" 

Let me tell you - I am so thankful and count my blessings everyday that my husband is not deploying (yet) BUT I still have an active POA (just in case). A friend of mine told me to ALWAYS ALWAYS have an active POA no matter what, you never know!!!

Here is what a Power of Attorney (POA):

• A power of attorney is a legal document that allows the named person, like you, to conduct business on behalf of someone else, like your spouse.

• If your spouse is deploying or leaving the country for any extended length of time, make sure he or she has a power of attorney prepared before departing. Luckily, most installations designate time for your spouse to meet with legal for this very purpose during deployment work-ups.

• Know exactly where this document is at all times while your spouse is away. Consider storing it with other important documents, like a safe or file cabinet. If you end up needing it, you’ll want it to be easily accessible.

• A power of attorney can be used for everything from freezing cell phone plans to leases or mortgages, and lots of other things in between.
