Michigan Estate Planning 2009 Tip# 1 | Update Your Power of Attorney

Have you updated your Michigan financial power of attorney recently?  If your financial power of attorney is more than a few years old there have been problems with banks and other financial institutions accepting the financial power of attorney due to bank policy.

They have no legal ground to stand on, but it is often easier to visit your Michigan estate planning lawyer on an annual basis to review and update your financial power of attorney and other Michigan estate planning documents then to take the bank or financial institution to court to enforce the documents.
