Ask a Question” mailbag: “Can my son use my power of attorney to give away all my property?”
A Durable Power of Attorney gives your “Agent” the right to make financial decisions on your behalf during your lifetime. Each power of attorney can be unique. I need to examine your actual document to answer the question, can your son use that particular document to legally make gifts to himself, but here are some facts. A durable power of attorney can give your son the right to make unlimited gifts. In other words, your Power of Attorney could allow your son to legally leave you penniless.

Peter Klenk was great at explaining complicated issues and making them understandable. He and his team were extremely efficient and I highly recommend them for the creation of wills and trusts.
My experience with Klenk Law was nothing shy of amazing. I had done some quick research when searching for an estate attorney and was immediately drawn to Klenk Law being a veteran owned business and due to their support for veterans, first responders, and teachers . Every member of their staff was knowledgeable and patient through every step of the process and with all of my questions. They were honest and transparent with pricing and expectations. They were very timely with communications and kept me in the loop throughout the process. I will definitely recommend Klenk Law to friends and family.
It's our first time doing business with Klenk Law and it was absolutely very positive. All interactions were timely and very professional. Peter and all of his staff put us at ease when making our estate plans and answered any questions thoroughly. We would highly recommend.
The Klenk Law team was a pleasure to deal with! Peter was responsive and helpful, and took good care of our needs!
The Klenk team smoothly helped my family with the often thick and cumbersome estate planning documents. We would recommend them for this type of work! Thank you, Klenk Law!
