A bank may reject a valid Power of Attorney to protect itself from liability. Once the account holder has lost capacity, there may be no one the bank can call to confirm that the document is legitimate, so it errs on the side of caution. Sometimes, extreme caution.

In this weekโ€™s article, I explain why valid Powers of Attorney still get rejected, what families can do ahead of time, and why waiting until a crisis can make everything harder.

You signed the Power of Attorney. You named someone you trust. You filed it away and felt the quiet relief of having that handled.

Here's what most families don't discover until they're already in a crisis: a perfectly valid Power of Attorney is often rejected at your bank right when your family needs it, and there may be very little they can do about it in the moment.

I've gotten those calls. An adult child standing at a bank counter, with a valid POA in hand, is being told the document is "too old" or that the bank has its own form. By the time I get the call, they're in crisis mode. The options are much more limited than they would have been six months earlier.

My job is to make sure that never happens to your family. I wrote about exactly how it happens and what you can do now this week.

When you die without a will, a judge decides who gets your house, your savings, and everything you built. Even who raises your kids. A formula is applied, not your wishes.
Tony Hsieh sold Zappos to Amazon for $1.2 billion and died at 46 with no will and no instructions. A judge sorted it out in public over the years. This week's blog explains what a plan would have changed for his loved ones.

Tony Hsieh built Zappos into a billion-dollar company and wrote a book called Delivering Happiness. He died at 46 with hundreds of millions of dollars and no estate plan. He never had someone who helped him make it real. This week's blog is about what changes when someone does.

Have people you love, assets, and no will? The state will apply a formula that doesn't know what you would have wanted.

Tony Hsieh sold Zappos to Amazon for $1.2 billion and wrote a book called Delivering Happiness. His family got that formula with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line. This week's blog explains what didnโ€™t need to happen.
