Do you have a self-care plan for when you are sick or unable to make financial decisions? At this free workshop, you’ll learn how to setup a Power of Attorney (POA) legal document. The workshop will take place online from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 9.

Library events are free and everyone is welcome. Registration is required, visit the Library’s event calendar to sign up.

In Washington state, a legal document called a Power of Attorney (POA) can authorize another person to make decisions on your behalf. In this workshop, learn about Washington’s Durable Power of Attorney for Finances and Durable Power of Attorney Health Care. We will discuss the law that governs them and the practical issues to be aware of when creating or revoking them. You will also have access to forms that you can use to draft your own Durable Power of Attorney for Finances and Durable Power of Attorney Health Care.
