Legal Appointments Power of Appointment Executor Guardian
Legal appointments put someone in charge of decisions or assets on your behalf—either while you're alive or after you pass away. A power of attorney lets you name someone to handle finances or medical choices if you can't. An executor manages your estate and carries out your will. A guardian takes legal responsibility for a child or adult who cannot care for themselves. Understanding what each role means and how to set one up helps you protect what matters and ensure the right person is ready to act.
These articles explain what happens at appointments related to these roles, what documents you'll need, and what to expect from the process. You'll learn how courts review guardianship petitions, what an executor's first steps look like, and how to prepare for meetings with lawyers or court staff about powers of attorney.
