Real-world example
Enduring power of attorney
Michael was 25, with a well-paid job, a mortgage and car loan at this young age.
Following a work accident, Michael was in a coma for almost four months. Fortunately, he regained consciousness and the ability to manage his own life again.
During the time Michael was incapacitated, it was very difficult for his family to pay his bills, make mortgage payments and manage his finances.
An enduring power of attorney would have enabled his family to deal with all of this more easily during this stressful time.
