Power of Attorney in Ohio
There are two types of Power of Attorney (POA) in Ohio. As the name suggests, Healthcare Power of Attorney allows you to name an agent to make healthcare and medical decisions on your behalf if you should ever become incapacitated and unable to make those kinds of decisions for yourself. A healthcare power of attorney is critically important in emergency situations. Without an agent, emergency medical workers can only provide a certain level of care before your inability to instruct them further prevents them from being able to continue to best meet your needs. A designated agent can advise medical professionals on issues like pre-existing conditions, allergies to medications, and personal or religious preferences for or against certain kinds of treatment that might otherwise go unknown.
General Durable Power of Attorney, sometimes referred to as Financial Power of Attorney, provides an agent with the authority to make decisions with regards to your finances and property. An agent with this authority can help you with things like paying bills, receiving and processing income and selling property. Unlike the Healthcare POA, where your designated agent’s authority only kicks in when medical professionals have determined that you have been incapacitated, the authority of a Financial POA agent is effective upon executing the document unless you specify otherwise.
What POA Documents Do For You
Both POA documents give you the power to name an agent you trust to help you manage your affairs with few entanglements. POA documents can only be executed by the individual seeking to grant that authority, not by someone seeking to acquire it. As such, the individual seeking to grant POA to another must be competent and aware of the decision in order to execute the POA. If an individual is unable to comprehend the situation, the only other option available to assist them with healthcare and financial matters is adult guardianship.

I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case. From the first time I met with my team to our last interaction, I always felt like I wasn't a number or a case, I was a person. The whole team was professional, responsive to my calls and concerns, and fought for the outcome I deserved. They even sent me an Ele cupcake for my birthday. I recommend this firm to everyone I know and will return if I ever need services in the future!
Hannah
I am giving this firm a five-star rating for two reasons. First is the professional way in which I was treated. Every person I spoke with at this firm was professional and extremely courteous. I felt as though I was being treated as a natural person and NOT just a client. In many professional settings, clients are treated as such clients. Therefore they are held at arm's length. This gives off the impression a client is just a number, and there is a coldness and sterility to the service. I was NOT treated in this manner at the Vannoy Firm.…

Anthony VanNoy is an absolutely top-notch attorney. From start to finish, my case was handled with empathy, efficiency, and utter professionalism. The outcome was better than I'd dared to hope for and I cannot recommend him or his firm highly enough.
Rachel
I first want to thank the staff and the company itself I work with Brittany and Patricia and it was so smooth on my end they took care of everything. They had no problem working with me even when I live the incident happened in a different state. Very very professional in my eyes and my family’s.
Diana
Keara Dever took the initiative to advocate for me in my very difficult situation. When no one else would listen to me, she did. She was very supportive and understanding and I am very appreciative for her services. She went above and beyond what I would have ever expected. Thank you so much Mrs. Dever. And by the way, she is AWESOME!!! Carl. M
Shavonne
Great experience and I would recommend to anyone in need of counsel for any civil/ Legal matter. They have people that specialized in certain areas and they can give you information or tell you which way you need to go with the case. I had a great experience and my friend called last week and the same professional help was given! Call them you won't be sorry!
